I am an Evolutionary Biologist currently working as an Early Career Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology, funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

I am interested in how natural and sexual selection shape the form and function of animal reproductive anatomy and behaviour. My research focuses on a range of questions relating to this topic. For example: what factors affect how choosy animals should be when choosing their mates? Why are male genitalia so complex? Do female genitalia evolve in tandem with males?

I investigate these questions using two approaches. First, I use laboratory studies in insects, including bugs, beetles and moths.
Second, I use meta-analysis to look for general evolutionary patterns across the animal kingdom.
