My work focuses on the use of cutting edge analytical tools, typically gas or liquid chromatographs connected to mass spectrometers, to answer questions about the biology of my study organisms.

I completed my PhD in marine ecotoxicology at Exeter University in the UK in 2010. My work covers many fields including analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical ecology, nutrition and ecotoxicology. My general interests beyond my own research are very broad and cover aspects of sustainable development, clean tech, renewable energy and ecological economics. I greatly enjoy hacking hardware for my own amusement and for research purposes. I also enjoy writing code in Python.
