I will talk about how deep geological and climatic history has shaped the genetic architecture of Australian fauna, with a focus on two contrasting systems: the arid zone and the Australian alps.

Climate change is quickly reshaping the environments in which wheat is cultivated, challenging global food security through increasing temperatures, heat stress, and unpredictable climatic variability.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease, with its most severe form caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The rapid emergence and spread of drug‑resistant parasites demand new therapeutic strategies.

My research contributes to broader insights into sexual selection, life-history evolution, and the potential impacts of environmental change on reproductive dynamics in natural populations.

Plants employ a suite of gene regulatory mechanisms that enable them to occupy a diverse range of environments and respond to ongoing perturbations.
