Personal profile
Research interests
I am an applied biologist working in the field of aquatic ecotoxicology. My research focuses on understanding the impacts of emerging environmental contaminants (including endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and plastics) on stress physiology and reproductive success of invertebrates and vertebrates, particularly fish.
