Summary

I conduct research on marine megafauna, specifically whale sharks, manta rays, turtles and billfishes. Studying the movement ecology of these animals, using satellite, acoustic and multi-sensor telemetry, is one of my main areas of interest. I am also working on the feeding ecology of large filter-feeders with a variety of approaches, from plankton tows, stomach contents analyses, to biochemical studies.
