I am a PhD researcher specialising in how organic nutrients sustain shelf sea productivity. My research aims to characterise dissolved organic nutrient pools and examine how these are used by coastal phytoplankton communities. To investigate my research aims, I will collect and analyse field samples using analytical chemistry techniques and microbiological experiments. These methods will … Read more
My PhD research aims to elucidate the sensory systems guiding marine invertebrate larval settlement. Specifically, the apical organ which acts as a chemo- and mechano-sensory structure and is thought to play a crucial role in larval settlement and metamorphosis. Thereby also shaping benthic communities. I am particularly interested in Cnidarians (anemones, jellyfish & coral) and … Read more
I am a marine ecotoxicologist specialising in the fate and effects of oil based, biobased and biodegradable microplastics, nanoplastics, plastic chemicals and other emerging pollutants in marine ecosystems. My current research focuses on how microplastics and other anthropogenic contaminants interact with multiple environmental stressors to affect organisms from coastal to offshore environments, and on developing … Read more
