Position: PhD student

Supervisors: Katrina McGuigan and Craig Franklin

Originally from England, I am currently a PhD student in the McGuigan lab here in Queensland, focusing on the interaction of generic variation and phenotypic plasticity and the role they play in evolution. My interests lie in evolutionary biology, specifically understanding the diversity of the flora and fauna on our planet. My previous research had more of a field based approach and has sent me to Florida, Madagascar, the Bahamas, and Peru to investigate how organisms can adapt to novel environments and any conservation implications this may have. I now wish to expand my knowledge of evolutionary theory and learn new techniques in the lab.
