个人简介

In 2015 I received a Discovery Early Career researcher Fellowship to investigate whether dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quality influences metal toxicity in freshwaters. Prior to this appointment I completed a 12 month Science without Borders Young Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship (level A: application placed in the top 25% assessed world-wide) in Brazil looking at the toxicity of Ni to cardinal tetra within the different waters of the Amazon Basin, under the supervision of Professor Chris Wood (University of British Columbia) and Dr Adalberto Val (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). As part of my post-doc in Brazil I also helped on a variety of other different projects including the influence of DOC on ion fluxes, and the use of molecular techniques to determine community composition of microbiota of fish within the black and white rivers of the Amazon Basin. I completed my PhD in 2014 entitled: the influence of humic substances on the toxicity of low pH and acid mine drainage to freshwater organisms, with two out of three reviewers placing my thesis in the top 10% of theses they have assessed. I also have over 8 years experience in the freshwater ecology and aquatic ecotoxicology areas through my previous position as a Senior Research Officer at CQUniversity.

研究领域

My research interests are in the fields of Aquatic Ecotoxicology and Ecology . Specifically I have interest in: The role of DOC in aquatic environments in relation to environmental stressors such as metals, pH and temperature and its effect on community composition within aquatic systems. Environmental toxicity of contaminants Mechanisms of metal toxicity Ecology, biodiversity and conservation of naturally acidic waterways Water quality and habitat assessment The use of macroinvertebrates, fish and algae as biological indicators
