About me
I'm a biologist specialised in freshwater macroinvertebrate identification to species level, with a good knowledge of British and European fauna, and broad experience in the lab and the field.
Currently I'm a PhD student in the London NERC DTP at King's College London. My research is focused on freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity in the Okavango Delta (Botswana), one of the largest inland deltas in the world, with a focus on non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)
My main interests are: freshwater ecology, climate change, human impacts on aquatic systems and invasive species.
