I am a freshwater ecologist with interest in phytoplankton taxonomy and ecological effects, especially harmful algal blooms. I have recently been EQAT certified in phytoplankton taxonomy and biomass assessment. 

Current and recent projects include:​

  • 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
  • UKSCAPE Loch Leven - Monitoring restoration impacts and environmental conditions at Loch Leven, Scotland
