My research interests centre on the areas of biodiversity, population genetics, fishery management and conservation. I am particularly interested in the application of modern genomic methodologies and associated statistical genetics approaches to gain further understanding on population genetic structure, evolutionary patterns and life history variation of aquatic organisms. My research topics include: mechanisms of population structure; local adaptation; taxonomy and phylogeography, genetic diversity, gene flow, genetic stock identification, and the identification and delimitation of conservation and management units.

I am looking for a project that is interested in the study of the interaction between marine biodiversity, pollution (e.g. heavy metals) and impact on genetic diversity.
