I am Professor of Mathematical Biology at The University of Sheffield and member of the mathematical biology group there.  My research is at the interface of ecology and mathematics, principally focused on animal movement and space use. Underlying it all are a few fundamental questions:

• How do complex systems of animal movements and interactions give rise to emergent population-level patterns?

• How can we infer the nature of animal interaction mechanisms, both with each other and their environment, from movement data?

• Can we construct techniques to help predict the effects of future environmental change on the ability of animal populations to survive?

See my Google Scholar page for more.

My research is currently part-funded by NERC grant NE/X000680/1.
