My MSc research focussed on movement ecology of big cats in Namibia and I have also spent some time on working on bird-focussed projects. Having then specialised in research on bats, I have been developing a long-term research and conservation project since 2015 on bat species in Zambia, part of which has formed my PhD which looks at bats using agricultural landscapes. I also have an interest in wildlife in urban landscapes, especially where human-wildlife interactions can cause concern.
