Biography
Hi, my research focuses on three broad areas of ecophysiology, spatial ecology, and conservation science and planning. I completed my BSc at the University of Wollongong and University College Cork. I then completed a PhD at Monash University. Following my PhD, I worked for Upwell Turtles (NGO) as a research scientist for one year. Since 2019, I have been a postdoc at Monash and Florida Atlantic University working on conservation, spatial ecology and physiology of turtles, sharks and crocodiles. I am currently a Research Fellow working in the Ecophysiology and Conservation Research Group with Professor Richard Reina. See www.richardreina.com
