I am an ecological and evolutionary physiologist and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

My current research focuses on the metabolic and behavioural responses of ectotherms to climate warming. I predominantly use the fruit fly, Drosophila, in laboratory-based experiments to study the capacity of ectotherms to respond to climate warming through physiological acclimation and evolutionary adaptation.
