Between 2021-2022 I was a postdoc at the University of Technology Sydney, where my I worked on ephemeral resource ecology & blowfly population genetics. Between 2022-2024 I was employed as a research fellow at Monash University, using water fleas (Daphnia) to study the ecology of sex differences & disease dynamics. I am currently working at Deakin University on a project titled “Hotspots of invertebrate endemism”. This work focusses on the diversity and phylo-geographic structure of leaf litter communities across south-eastern Australia.
