Overview
My research explores freshwater food webs, which are often considered simpler than those of terrestrial systems. I’m interested in whether this perceived simplicity reflects reality, or instead our limited understanding of these systems’ complexity. My MPhil research combines foraging theory with network ecology, looking to build food webs that better capture how freshwater organisms forage and interact. Aside from my research, I’m a singer, guitarist, and enjoy spending time in nature. I always enjoy talking about my work, so feel free to get in touch by [email protected]!
