I am an aquatic ecologist and physiologist, currently based at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia. I am interested in studying the various ways that climate change will impact the life histories of aquatic ectotherms, particularly relating to temperature and oxygen availability.

My research career has taken me from reservoirs and lakes in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, to Andean ponds in southern Ecuador, to Great Lakes country. Most recently, I have been working in the estuaries of Victoria, Australia, to gain a better understanding of the physiology of Galaxias maculatus, a small but ecologically crucial fish found throughout the southern hemisphere.
