Broadly speaking, my research focuses on the ecology and evolution of marine organisms. While I work on a range of organisms (including various invertebrates, fish and mangroves), much of my research to date has focused on the coral-algal symbiosis. I am particularly interested in how these symbiotic partners have adapted to environmental extremes, and how this sensitive partnership will respond to future climate change. A key aspect of my research approach is my ability to leverage cutting-edge technologies, and develop new analytical approaches to tackle unresolved fundamental questions in biology.
