I am interested in how populations adapt to new environments. I use experimental evolution to observe and measure phenotypic evolution in real time.

I am a Human Frontiers Long-Term Fellow at Bangor University focusing on niche evolution and male-male competition. I will starting as a Teaching and Research Lecturer at Bangor University in February 2024.

My postdoctoral research at Michigan State University focused on experimental adaptation of parasitoid wasps to invasive insect pests. 

For my PhD at the University of Cambridge, I used the burying beetle in long term evolution experiments to ask how parental care shapes adaptive evolution.
