I am interested in wildlife conservation and anthropogenic changes to natural ecosystems. During my PhD I will be working on the impacts of globalization on biological invasions, particularly looking at the spread of invasive insects with global trade. I am currently working on the human-mediated transport of insects with specific trade commodities, using records of border interceptions.
