PhD Candidate, Conservation Policy, University of Oxford
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford. I am an ecologist with a background in researching how we can optimise environmental policy for the best outcomes for insect biodiversity.
My research looks at the conservation outcomes of ecological compensation policies (e.g., Biodiversity Net Gain) with a particular focus on the proxy biodiversity metrics used in these policies and how they reflect other dimensions of biodiversity. Currently, I am using DNA metabarcoding to measure invertebrate community diversity to analyse against baseline Biodiversity Net Gain scores in England.
