Personal profile
Biography
I am a coastal ecologist whose research focuses on coastal protection approaches that provide ecological benefits. My interest lies in understanding the coastal processes that shape environmental outcomes and influence the success of intervention measures.
I evaluate novel nature-based coastal protection approaches designed to rehabilitate habitats while maintaining essential functions such as wave attenuation and sediment stabilisation. Recognising that the effectiveness of these approaches are highly context-dependent, my research aims to refine their design and application so that they can be reliably integrated into broader coastal protection strategies.
