I am a freshwater ecologist with interest in phytoplankton taxonomy and ecological effects, especially harmful algal blooms.

Current projects include:

• UKRI UK Climate resilience - developing a cyanobacterial bloom monitoring and forecasting service
• NERC Hydroscape - assessing the importance of connectivity in freshwater ecosystems
• NERC SUNRISE - enhancing freshwaters in India in collaboration with NIH Roorkee, IIT Roorkee and ATREE Bengaluru
• NERC NBSGap - investigating how nature-based solutions are contributing to priority societal challenges surrounding human well-being
• Bloomin'Algae - a Citizen Science project and smartphone app for rapid warning and management of harmful algal blooms
