| My expertise / skills : |
My research expertise lies in the spatial organisation of habitats, and how habitat architecture influences ecological processes. Most of my work to date has been on forests. This includes modelling, fieldwork and experimental approaches. Our group has also pioneered the use of mobile laser scanners to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of habitats at fine scales. See treesinspace.com for more.

agroforestry, biodiversity, forest ecology, habitat architecture, spatial point patterns, self-organisation, terrestrial laser scanning, trees |
| Project description : |
I am interested in joining projects which might require one of the following:
1. statistical quantification of patterns in biodiversity
2. spatial modelling of patterns in populations or ecosystems
3. three-dimensional laser scanning and visualisation of habitat architecture |
| Networking opportunities : |
British Ecological Society, Birmingham 16--19 December 2018 |
