Personal profile

Research interests

I am a co-lead of the Wildlife Genetic Management Group and a co-founder of the Wildlife Genetic Management Hub. My research program focuses on applying evolutionary principles to enhance conservation and on-ground management of wildlife populations. As a world-leading expert in conservation genetics and genomics, I collaborate extensively with wildlife management agencies to translate cutting-edge research into effective policy-making. My work aims to ensure the genetic health and evolutionary resilience of threatened wildlife populations, promoting their long-term well-being. Through these efforts, I strive to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical conservation outcomes. By integrating evolutionary thinking, my research contributes significantly to the sustainability and preservation of biodiversity.
