• Education: BSc, PhD

His research focuses on avian ecology, conservation genetics, and behavioral studies of Australian palm cockatoos (Probosciger aterrimus). Key areas include population genetics, vocal dialects, genetic divergence, and conservation strategies for endangered species. His work integrates genomic analysis, landscape modeling, and acoustic studies to understand population dynamics and refugial histories.

Recent publications analyze population decline mechanisms, dispersal patterns, and genetic-vocal correlations in palm cockatoos. Collaborations span institutions like DAWE and the ANU Conservation Research teams.
