Research Assistant

Based within the School of Natural and Environment, my work will contribute to Work Package 2 of the SPACE project, using a range of GIS and statistical approaches, to aid in understanding the role the environment plays in brain and cognitive health outcomes in the NICOLA cohort data (Wave 1 + 2). My research focuses on interactions between the living and physical components of the environment, developing experimental and statistical approaches to elucidate the mechanisms underlying ecotoxicological and environmental change phenomena, and potential applications for environmental management and public health. Previously my PhD, at Queen’s University Belfast, focused on understanding the relationships between European Badgers (Meles meles) and the geochemistry of the soils on which they lived, where I received the Prof. John Glover Memorial Award 2020-2021.
