个人简介

I am interested in a broad range of fundamental and applied questions on the interface between ecology, epidemiology and evolution. I use a combination of mathematical modelling, ecological experiments with model species, and field observations from natural ecosystems, to understand the processes and mechanisms that allow population persistence and species coexistence. I like to base my theoretical research in the context of important applied problems such as food security, biodiversity loss and invasive species. This has led me to work on species as diverse as baculoviruses, honey bees, parasitoid wasps, porpoises, seagrass and triggerfish.
