Current Research
My research focuses on behavioural and physiological ecology of fish in both freshwater and marine ecosystems, where I explore how fish make a living in terms of both behaviour and energy dynamics. I also conduct more applied research that aims to improve our understanding the impacts of recreational fishing practices on fish welfare, with the overall goal of developing and promoting more sustainable recreational fisheries. In my research I use biologging and biotelemetry tools extensively, with particular emphasis on accelerometry.
