Postdoctoral Researcher in Biological Oceanography, University of Exeter I am a researcher in Biological Oceanography and Marine Biogeochemistry, with a particular interest in the interactions between marine phytoplankton and nutrients. My current work focuses on how phytoplankton dynamics are changing in response to ocean warming, and how this might affect global biogeochemical cycles. I completed my PhD at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, where I studied the role of micronutrients in shaping phytoplankton communities in the Southern Ocean. I gained extensive sea-going research experience during multiple expeditions to the Southern Ocean. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Exeter and a BioGeoSCAPES Fellow. I contribute to the UKRI-funded Phytoplankton Response to Climate Change (PRIME) project, studying how climate change impacts phytoplankton communities and broader marine biogeochemistry.
