Biography
Research interests
My research aims to identify and mitigate health threats and potential risks to wildlife (especially birds), humans, and the wider environment through the use of eco-epidemiological methods and risk analysis.
My main research strands include:
a) analyzing the risks of veterinary pharmaceuticals to avian scavengers;
b) studying antimicrobial resistance dynamics in wildlife and the natural environment;
c) surveillance of infectious diseases in wild birds.
I teach and supervise research projects in the MSc Global Wildlife Health and Conservation | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol.
