My research centres around environmental changes, with a particular focus on biological invasions. I work on the ecological and socio-economic consequences of invasive species, unravel their patterns through space and time, and develop new management tools to address them. While I work across taxonomic groups and habitat types, the ecology of disease vectoring arthropods, such as mosquitoes and midges, under biological invasion and climate change processes, is a major research interest.
