Biography

My research focuses on cross-realm interactions, including freshwater, coastal, and marine aquatic systems, as well as interventions for restoring these systems. I had previously worked on aspects of sustainable aquaculture, examining how production systems can improve ecosystem services, water quality, and biodiversity. I am working towards integrating approaches related to ecological modelling, spatial analysis, participatory methods, and socio-economic perspectives in my work to promote resilient, low-impact aquatic food systems and nature-based solutions that link environmental sustainability with market and policy transitions.
