Lecturer in Macroecology, University of Galway
I earned my PhD in 2015 researching macroecological questions relating to the evolution of lifespan in animals and birds, the evolution of venom in snakes and the evolution of time perception in vertebrates. I held two post doctoral positions, one studying population dynamics at Trinity College Dublin and a following one as a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews where I developed energetic models of scavenging foraging behaviors. In 2019 I started as a Lecturer in Zoology at the university of Galway Ireland, where my macroecology research group is based. I have over 25 published papers on topics relating to Macroecology published in journals such as Natural Ecology and Evolution and Ecology Letters and I am currently an associated editor for the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography
