我要吃瓜

I am a PhD Researcher investigating human-beaver coexistence. My current project explores anthropogenic effects on beaver physiology (e.g. stress) and behaviour (e.g. foraging), as well as the psychological impact of beaver-wetlands on human wellbeing.

Alongside my PhD, I am SEPA Project Coordinator for Forth-ERA, working on spatial data and satellite mapping.

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. My current project focuses on beavers’ physiological and behavioural responses to anthropogenic impacts, as well as the effects of nature connectedness on psychological wellbeing and conservation education.
