I am an urban ecologist and plant ecologist. My research explores how climate change, environmental heterogeneity, and urbanisation shape plant performance, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. My work sits at the interface of ecology, ecophysiology, spatial analysis, and environmental modelling, with a particular focus on understanding how plants respond to climate stress across natural and urban landscapes. I am especially interested in identifying the species, traits, and spatial conditions that influence vulnerability to heat, drought, and other climate extremes in cities.

My research combines large spatial datasets, “big data” approaches, and quantitative ecological methods to develop frameworks for assessing climate risk in urban ecosystems. By integrating plant physiological responses, species distribution patterns, socio-economic data, and future climate projections, I aim to improve understanding of how urban green infrastructure can support biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human wellbeing under changing climatic conditions. A central goal of my research is to inform climate-adaptive urban planning, conservation strategy, and evidence-based management of urban forests and other green spaces.

My broader interests include climate resilience, nature-based solutions, biodiversity conservation, and the ecology of urban trees. I have worked extensively on the implications of extreme climates for cities, with particular attention to the selection of tree species that are most likely to persist under future environmental conditions.
