About me

I am an ecologist working in the field of spatial ecology and animal movement.

I received my undergraduate degree in zoology from Oxford University in 1992 and went on to earn my PhD from The University of Tennessee in 1996.

After completing my doctoral studies I worked at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and Columbia University before joining the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2005.
