I am an environmental scientist and JSPS fellow working in Matsue, Japan. I investigate the ecology and impacts of climate change on freshwater ecosystems, including lakes, rock-holes and groundwater.

Last week, I was lucky enough to travel across Japan with Prof. Hiroshi Yajima and Assoc. Prof. Man Xiao to visit three freshwater lakes, and meet researchers working in various aspects of lake management science.

You can read about the trip on my website:

New paper out with @pbeasleyhall.bsky.social in Australia Entomology.

Exciting news!

I have just commenced a two-year Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. I am being hosted by Professor Hiroshi Yajima at the Estuary Research Centre, and Shimane University.
