I am a post-doctoral researcher currently employed within the Innovate UK funded project “In-Field Optical Detection of Potato Disease (Poptical)”. As such it is my role to design, establish, maintain and perform plant disease diagnostics on field and greenhouse trials that aim to determine which diseases of potato plants can be detected (and differentiated) by proximal sensing technologies such as UAV-captured imagery and field spectrometry.
A catchment scientist and systems modeller with an interest in the understanding of the effects of land use, land management change and mitigation on ecosystem services, including water quality, freshwater biodiversity, soil conservation and carbon management in catchment systems. My trans-disciplinary research combines aspects of hydrology, soil science, freshwater biology, biogeochemistry and social sciences within integrated modelling frameworks to address key questions linking land use impacts on freshwaters.
