Researcher biography
I am a postdoctoral fellow at The University of Queensland and a researcher in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED), supervised by Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr Tara Martin. My research focuses on looking at the trade-offs and synergies in ecosystem services, food security, and how to maximise both biodiversity and social livelihoods. My current projects include a national assessment of carbon, biodiversity and co-benefits for Indigenous people within the carbon farming initiative, investigating the effects of leakage on conservation planning, and determining the role of small-scale conservation efforts in agro-ecosystems.
