About
I am a senior research fellow at the Aquatic Environmental Research Stress Group (AQUEST), RMIT University with over 20 years’ experience in freshwater ecology, particularly in designing, sampling, identifying invertebrates, statistically analysing data and writing publications/reports. I am part of the Aquatic Pollution Prevention Partnership (A3P) with Melbourne Water which is a collabortive partnership that conducts research on waterway pollution identification and management within the Port Phillip and Westernport region. I was previously a research fellow at CAPIM, the University of Melbourne working in the freshwater aquatic pollution and prevention area.
My research involves using multi-disciplinary approaches to determine the factors affecting health in waterways around Victoria and within Greater Melbourne. I have authored several published journal articles, numerous technical reports and literature reviews, and provided guidance and supervision to a number of post-graduate students.
