About
Alysha Chan is an Academic Casual at the School of Natural Sciences, Macquarie University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and specializes in marine biology with a focus on elasmobranch species like cownose rays and whitespotted eagle rays. Her research integrates ecological analysis, remote sensing technologies (e.g., ROVs), and coastal ecosystem studies. Chan has been recognized for her contributions through multiple awards, including the John Lake Junior Award (2020) and John Glover Travel Awards (2022, 2023).
Her work explores trophic niches, species distribution drivers, and innovative marine research methodologies. Notable projects include analyzing cownose ray sightings in New South Wales and evaluating ROVs as tools for video-based marine surveys. Chan’s research underscores the intersection of technology and conservation efforts in marine ecosystems. She has published three peer-reviewed articles since 2020, contributing to fisheries science and ecological modeling.
