PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

I studied marine biology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) and completed a PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I have held research fellow positions at Newcastle University, NUS, University of New South Wales, Nanyang Technological University and Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology. I am currently lead a research group at Newcastle University. My research primarily focuses on coral reefs in Southeast Asia and Micronesia. I am interested in ecological processes that effect recovery and persistence of reef communities, particularly in heavily impacted environments.
