This researcher studies forest ecology and plant community dynamics, with a strong focus on New Zealand's temperate rainforests, including how tree species respond to disturbance, disease (such as myrtle rust), invasive plants and mammals, and environmental conditions. Much of the work examines what drives tree survival, forest community composition, and the impacts of biological invasions on native ecosystems. A few unrelated publications on graphene and organogel materials also appear in the record, suggesting either a coauthorship role or a shared name across different research areas.
