Skills
A marine biologist with a diverse background spanning academic research and commercial environmental science. As an Applied Research Scientist at PML Applications Ltd., I specialise in providing scientific advice and practical solutions for marine environmental challenges. With a strong background in marine biology and environmental monitoring, I support clients by designing and implementing tailored research strategies to meet their specific needs — whether it’s assessing biofilm development, evaluating microplastic contamination, conducting ecotoxicology tests or harnessing environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity monitoring.
My extensive academic and industry experience ensures that clients benefit from cutting-edge methodologies and data-driven results. My PhD and postdoctoral research, conducted at the University of Amsterdam and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), focused on Antarctic marine ecosystems, combining advanced molecular biology techniques, lipidomics and ecological analysis to understand carbon cycling and microbial diversity. This expertise translates into robust, scientifically validated approaches for clients tackling complex environmental and operational challenges.
With a track record of supervising projects, delivering international presentations, and publishing in leading scientific journals, I bring a clear, results-oriented mindset to every project. I collaborate closely with clients to ensure solutions are practical, effective, and aligned with environmental sustainability goals.
My approachable, collaborative style ensures that clients not only receive high-quality data but also gain clear, actionable insights to inform decisions and improve outcomes.
