I am a PhD student primarily based at the Natural History Museum London, interested in the use of genetics to investigate marine taxonomy, ecology, and evolution, with particular focus on benthic invertebrate diversity in ecosystems under investigation for deep-sea mining.

My PhD is focused on the diversity and ecology of benthic abyssal invertebrates in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone –the world’s largest frontier for the seabed mining of metals. This work involves taxonomy and phylogenetics of species new to science, analysis of regional-scale phylogenetic, functional and beta diversity across the CCZ, analysis of population-level connectivity in target taxa, and modelling the impacts of potential seabed mining.
