Welcome!

I am a Marine Ecologist, PhD Candidate, and Research Technician at Swansea University, Wales.

My PhD is focused on the movement and behavioural ecology of seals (grey and harbour seals) in tidally energetic environments in Wales, and their potential interactions with marine renewable energy (MRE) devices. To study this I deploy biologging devices on seals captured in the wild to track them in their natural habitats. Through my research I aim to provide evidence and advice to industry and policymaking authorities for regulating and licencing new MRE installations.​

I am always keen to build collaborations and meet like-minded individuals. Please get in touch if you would like to work together or find out more about me or my research.
