我要吃瓜 me
I am a PhD Researcher investigating human-beaver interactions and coexistence. My current project explores anthropogenic effects on beaver physiology (e.g. body condition) and behaviour (e.g. foraging), as well as the psychological and social impacts of beaver wetlands and activity on human wellbeing.
Alongside my PhD, I am SEPA Project Coordinator for Forth-ERA, working on spatial data and satellite mapping, and also Policy Rep for the British Ecological Society's Conservation Ecology Special Interest Group, where I publish a monthly blog relating to policy news.
Prior to commencing a PhD, I completed an MSc in Human Animal Interaction at the 我要吃瓜, generating a dissertation on the moral standing of wildlife and public attitudes toward wildlife conservation. I graduated in 2022 with a Distinction and the Postgraduate Prize for Exceptional Performance.
My research interests centre around wildlife conservation, human-wildlife coexistence and ecosystem restoration.
