Education:

• Doctoral Thesis: 'Factors underpinning plant megadiversity in the extremely phosphorus-impoverished Southwest Australian biodiversity hotspot' (2024, Unpublished)

Research Interests: Focus on plant phosphorus use efficiency, biodiversity mechanisms in nutrient-poor ecosystems, and interactions between plants and microorganisms. Key topics include Proteaceae species (e.g., Banksia, Hakea), mycorrhizal networks, and metabolic adaptations in nutrient-limited environments.

His recent articles explore phosphorus allocation strategies in plants, mycorrhizal interactions, and leaf economics spectrum dynamics. Collaborations include studies on chickpea genotypes and ectomycorrhizal fungi roles in species coexistence.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts. His work involves datasets on plant-microbe interactions and phosphorus fractions, available via institutional repositories.

Labs/Teams: Engaged in interdisciplinary projects within the School of Biological Sciences, collaborating with experts in plant physiology, ecology, and biogeochemistry.
