I have a keen interest in the taxonomy, systematics and diversity of deep-sea benthic isopods. In particular, I explore the likely responses of fauna to anthropogenic impacts, especially those related to deep-sea mining and climate change. My current research spans morphological, molecular and phylogenetic data to delineate isopod species, which forms the basis for understanding drivers of their diversity and distribution and how these might change with increasing impacts on deep-sea ecosystems.
