bio

Hello! I am an evolutionary biologist interested in comparative biomechanics, functional morphology, and bioacoustics. I study the form and function of mechanical and acoustic structures, and how these have facilitated novel communication channels.

I graduated from University of Lincoln with a BSc in Zoology before continuing onto a Zoology PhD programme working on the biophysics of communication in Orthoptera.

I am currently based at the University of Lincoln, UK.
