I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Åbo Akademi University, Finland, investigating how marine benthic communities respond to environmental change across Arctic and Baltic ecosystems. My research integrates experimental ecology with advanced multivariate statistics to understand anthropogenic and natural impacts on seafloor biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Currently, I lead analytical components of SEA-Quester (carbon cycling in polar marine ecosystems) and BOWIE (benthic-offshore wind interactions). My work focuses on models that capture how predictor effects vary systematically across space and time, moving beyond species-level analyses to harness intraspecific variability for predicting ecosystem responses. I completed my PhD at the University of Southampton conducting experimental research at the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Futures Facility (BEFF). This foundation continues to inform my current work on climate-induced responses in Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. My methodological expertise spans functional trait analysis, biodiversity-ecosystem-functioning and location-scale models for understanding environmental heterogeneity. I'm particularly interested in integrating taxonomic composition with trait-based approaches to improve predictions of community responses to global change.
