Tropical biodiversity scientist with extensive experience in community ecology, disturbance ecology, conservation biology, and spatial modelling. My research focuses on the consequences of land‑use and climate change for multi‑taxa assemblages, integrating taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic perspectives to inform conservation, restoration, and spatial planning. I combine fieldwork, large open datasets, machine-learning, and species distribution models to produce policy‑relevant, spatially explicit outputs. Committed to research-oriented teaching, capacity building, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in academia.
