Overview

Profile summary

I am a PhD student working on Marine Eco-Engineering. My project focuses on "Retrospective optimisation of multifunctionality on coastal urban infrastructure" and is funded by the NERC ARIES Doctoral Training Partnership.
My research interests include experimental benthic ecology and architectural design. I hope to combine these two fields of interest during my PhD project by investigating the interactions between benthic species communities and the structural complexity of their habitat. My aim is to develop novel design strategies to improve the sustainability and ecological multifunctionality of coastal infrastructure.
