I'm a PhD student at UCC studying the distribution of seabirds at sea and factors that influence this. My current focus is on building a model to generate predictive distribution maps of seabirds at sea, which can then be used to identify areas of high biodiversity or vulnerability. I have an MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London, during which I analysed the impacts of by-catch on the fish species Antimora Rostrata, in terms of both biology and distribution.
