Key Research Interests

My research interests lie in exploring the interplay between food security, land use and biodiversity. My research is primarily modelling based and I am involved in developing the global land use model, LandSyMM (https://landsymm.earth/about-us) and the process based eco-evolutionary model RangeShifter (https://rangeshifter.github.io/portfolio/rangeshifter2.0/). I am particularly interested in how socio-economic factors, such as dietary choices and human health, may impact land use with consequences for biodiversity.
