Research interests

My research background focuses on the use of sound in marine mammals and the potential for anthropogenic noise to cause physiologically relevant disturbance. More recently, my work has included studying the effects of noise on other animals as well as those in freshwater environments, and the use of acoustics to monitor cryptic animals in a number of habitats.

Teaching

My teaching interests are centred around the use of learning technologies to improve student engagement and feedback both in the classroom, laboratory and the field. I am particularly interested in applying the use of mobile devices to specific issues in current academic practice, such as improving practical experiences for increasing class sizes and enhancing accessibility for a wider range of students.
