Profile
Biography
Research Questions My research addresses fundamental questions on the role of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the physiology and ecology of aquatic organisms. Many of the BVOCs I study transfer into the atmosphere where they contribute to the biogeochemical cycling of important elements and affect atmospheric processing, particle formation and climate. I develop sensor technologies for the monitoring of bivalve behaviour and work on the ecology of shellfish (whelks and oysters). Approaches Key to my investigations are gas-chromatographic analyses that utilise various detectors (flame ionisation, flame photometric and mass spectrometric) to quantify and identify trace gases. My group is currently developing novel analytical tools for the characterisation of environmental volatile metabolomes (volatilomes). Our Non-invasive Oyster Sensor (NOSy) monitors gaping frequency in oysters using high-frequency magnetic valvometry. Collaborations I collaborate with research groups across the world and consult fisheries-management agencies on the stress physiology of harvested species in a warming world. We welcome new collaborative efforts and are always interested in new Masters and PhD projects. Please contact us for more information or a discussion of your research ideas and analytical needs. Opportunities to Study Enquiries from students or postdoctoral researchers who are interested in carrying out research in my group are very welcome.
