    I currently co-supervise a Master of Public Health student, and a PhD candidate in the School of Public Health. I have previously been the principal supervisor for two summer vacation scholars in the School of Biological Sciences.

  • Research Interests

    I am particularly interested in cross-disciplinary research. My primary research interest is in exploring the relationship between greenspace exposure and human health outcomes. Other research I am involved in includes investigating the relationship between maternal exposure to trihalomethanes in water supplies  and birth outcomes; proposing strategies that model the environmental and human health outcomes driven by environmental changes; investigating the application of genomics to restoration and conservation ecology;  investigating vegetation changes over time at Witchelina Nature Reserve; proposing minimum dataset requirements for future studies.
