I am a Research Fellow interested in evolution, ecology, and physiology, particularly the nexus of these fields. My research aims to explore the capacity for native Australian plants to tolerate and respond to climate-related stressors like background warming and heatwaves.

​

​

My research interests are broad and has included work on the physiological and behavioural consequences of viral infection in fruit flies, trait responses to selection on dispersal in invasive beetles, evolution of phenotypic plasticity of plants, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses on selection, metabolic rate, and thermal tolerance.

​

I am currently working in the Division of Ecology & Evolution at the Research School of Biology at The Australian National University as a Research Fellow investigating a range of projects centred around ecological and evolutionary responses of plants and alpine communities to the changing climate - primarily the ATLS project.
