Profile

Marine Ecosphysiology has been my research focus since my undergraduate research project. How marine invertebrates interact with their environment can inform us on a whole host of important sectors, from optimising aquaculture to understanding local and global change biology. 

My industry/academia-blend PhD project (Growing Shrimp Indoors: Understanding Physiology to Optimise Health) was funded by The Collaborative Centre for Sustainable Aquaculture Futures (SAF) which is a joint initiative between the Centre for Environment, Aquaculture and Fisheries (CEFAS) and the University of Exeter.
