He holds an honorary position at the University of Melbourne and serves as President of the Australasian Wildlife Management Society (AWMS). His research focuses on wildlife management, animal welfare, ecotoxicology, and bioethics, particularly in invasive, harvested, and overabundant species across Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Northern Europe.

Education: PhD (Murdoch University, 2017), BVMS (2005), BSc (2003), all from Murdoch University.

Research Interests: Integrates animal welfare science with conservation challenges, emphasizing ethical approaches to invasive species control, lead contamination in wildlife, and humane wildlife capture techniques. His work bridges veterinary science, toxicology, and ecological policy to address global conservation dilemmas. Recent studies explore lead exposure in scavengers, humane hunting practices, and the ethical implications of wildlife management strategies.

Scientific Contributions: His articles emphasize lead ammunition risks, wildlife toxicology, and animal welfare in culling programs. Notable topics include minimizing lead exposure in game meat, refining capture methods for deer, and ethical frameworks for human-wildlife interactions.

Professional Activities: Leads initiatives in wildlife ethics education and collaborates with governments and NGOs on sustainable management practices. His work prioritizes balancing ecological needs with animal welfare standards.
