Research interests

I currently work as a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR). My primary interests at the MPIDR are explaining and describing demographic patterns across the "tree of life". However, my research interests are varied and range from climate change, macroevolution and macroecology, to senescence and population dynamics.

In addition, I was recently working with Dr Jinliang Wang at the Institute of Zoology (London) on population genetics.

My first post-doc was on the LITS project, a database of UK-based long-term individual-based time series data sets.
