My career so far has consisted of applying genetic and genomic tools to address research questions with a strong applied aquaculture industry focus. I have more than 10 years’ experience working in quantitative and population genetics of marine wildlife and commercially important species (including pearl oysters, shrimp, damselfish, lobster and barramundi), throughout Australia, Indonesia, West Papua and French Polynesia.
