- Research interests
-
- The evolution and genetics of colour pattern variation
- The genetic and developmental control of structural colours in animals
- The process of divergence and speciation within the genome
- The genetic analysis of natural hybrid zones to identify loci under selection
I am interested in the genetic underpinnings of adaptive evolution, speciation and sexual selection in natural populations. Current research projects in my lab are investigating the evolution, genetics and development of iridescent structural colour and adaptation to altitude in tropical insects.

I am a Senior Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (attainment against the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and learning support in higher education).
I am module co-ordinator for BIS320 (Topics in Zoology) and BIS4101 (The Scientific Cycle) and teach evolutionary biology on BIS223 and analysis of genomic sequence data as part of BIS401.
I am a tutor and supervise Level 3, Level 4 and MRes projects. I am happy to discuss possible projects, which can range from behaviour and ecology to genomics.
