Interdisciplinary computational ecologist and data scientist. I have a broad interest in biodiversity modelling, ecological economics, ecosystem service risk projection (particularly crop pollination), digital metrics for monitoring human-nature interactions, evidence synthesis, the application and ethics of AI in research, and future thinking for biodiversity change prediction and solutions. My current role is as Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Agroecology Research Group, focusing on the potential future role of ensemble biodiversity models, central banks, and spatial finance, in solving at least some dimensions of the problems emergent from rapid biodiversity change.
Prior to my current role I led the development of the Species Awareness Index and the meta-analytic platform Dynameta; designed ensemble threat-response models for predicting global insect biodiversity change; built automated data-handling systems for CITES data; and was a contributing author on a No. 10 Cabinet Briefing on the reintroduction of behavioural interventions for COVID-19.
