The goal of my research is to understand how the interactions between species affect the structure, dynamics, and functioning of their ecological communities. I am particularly interested in aquatic systems, both marine and freshwater. I use a combination of observational and experimental approaches to inform and test mathematical models of multi-species systems. I thereby aim to develop theory that integrates our understanding of the behaviour of individuals (e.g., predator foraging) with the ecosystem-level consequences of the interacting populations and species groups they represent.
