BIO

I gained my B.Sc. Zoology (1st class Hons) from the University of Glasgow in 1989 and my Ph.D. from Royal Holloway University of London in 1997, working. After 2 postdocs at University of Stirling I held a Personal Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 at Cardiff University. I was a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer there from 2003 - early 2008 when I moved across the globe to take up a position at Deakin University, based at the Geelong campus. In 2014 I was awarded a Future Fellowship, which I held part time (2015-2021) from the Australian Research Council. In 2021 I was appointed to the ARC College of Experts.
