个人简介

I am a biodiversity theorist with a particular interest in ecological neutral theory. I arrived at Imperial College during January 2012 and I am grateful to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) for funding me in my current position with a postdoctoral research fellowship. I am also interested in public engagement activities and created the OneZoom tree of life explorer website (www.onezoom.org). Prior to arriving at Imperial I was funded for 3 years with a postdoctoral research fellowship from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). I was hosted by the University of Leeds but spent 50% of my time abroad at the University of Groningen and the University of Idaho (Moscow,ID). My PhD (2005-2008) titled 'Spatially Explicit Neutral Models of Community Assembly' was carried out at the University of Leeds under the supervision of Stephen Cornell and Bill Kunin. My undergraduate training (2001-2005) was in mathematics at the University of Warwick and had a strong bias towards scientific computing and life science applications.

研究领域

What factors influence the presence of endemic species on islands? How many species will go extinct if an area of habitat is modified or destroyed? These are the sorts of questions that I hope to address with my present research projects. My approach to modeling problems in ecology is to search for simple models for observed phenomena if possible; a model does not have to explicitly reproduce reality in order to be useful. Most of my work uses simulation models and applies methods such as spatially explicit coalescence to maximise computational tractability. More specific research topics include. Ecological neutral theory Coalescence Island biogeography Habitat fragmentation Spatial patterns of biodiversity Phylogenetics Scientific data visualisation
