I'm interested in how plants interact with their environment from the scale of a single leaf to global patterns of forest strucutre. I use a combination of ecological modelling and remote sensing to understand plant form and function through the lens of plant architecture. I'm particularly interested in the trade-offs between growth and longevity because after all, being a tree is risky business. 

I am a project planner for the MULTIRISK project where I am looking to develop new tools for monitoring tree mortality and forest degredation. In addition to this, I am completing a PhD at Imperial College London and Kew Gardens on evolutionary states in 3D, where I am investigating the drivers of successful tree shapes under changing environmental conditions.
