I'm broadly interested in applying DNA-based tools to understand the drivers generating, maintaining and impacting on marine biodiversity through time and space.

I have most recently addressed questions related to understanding how, and if, these drivers produce meaningful delineated biogeographic regions, and to what extent anthropogenic forces, affect biodiversity patterns. To date, I have used a range of DNA-based methods to answer these questions, with a recent focus on environmental DNA metabarcoding.
