Research interests
I am a NERC GW4+ PhD researcher at the Unviersity of Bristol. My research focuses on the impacts of light pollution on the general activity and navigational abilities of nocturnal arthropods, mainly moths and spiders. My work includes lab and field-based animal behaviour experiments, chiefly tethered flight and treadmill techniques, to observe and record the behaviour of nocturnal arthropods exposed to light pollution.
