I am a teaching and research academic at Curtin University, with expertise in environmental and conservation physiology. I am interested in how terrestrial vertebrates meet their energetic, water and temperature requirements. My work involves both laboratory and field studies throughout Australia and globally. I teach undergraduate and postgraduate classes, and supervise postgraduate research students, in areas relevant to my expertise, including animal physiology, zoology, statistics, conservation and wildlife management.
