This body of work centers on freshwater stream insects, particularly their population genetics, conservation status, and behavior in New Zealand rivers, alongside a separate strand of publications on urban stormwater drainage systems. The mix of topics suggests contributions spanning aquatic entomology, landscape genetics, and applied urban water management, with some additional outputs on engineering education. Because the publication record under this name appears to blend multiple distinct subject areas, prospective students should verify which specific projects and topics are currently active with the PI directly.

Publication output over the last decade has been variable rather than steadily growing, with a dip in 2019 and 2021-2023, a notable spike in 2024, and an average of about 2.6 publications per year over the last five years.
