Research interests
I’m interested in the behaviour, ecology and conservation of pollinators. Much of my research has focused on the impact of anthropogenic stressors (pesticides, habitat loss, etc) on bumblebee and solitary bee health. I am also interested in animal cognition and specifically about how bees learn and respond to an ever changing environment. You can find more about my research on my website (here) and on my Scholar page (here).
