I work as an ornithological scientist at the Swiss Ornithological Institute where I study the ecology and dispersal of raptors. Before moving to Switzerland in 2023, I worked as a scientist at the RSPB Centre for Conservation Science to save globally threatened species, and I continue this role in a voluntary capacity


The goal of my work is to achieve effective conservation of threatened species and their habitats through a thorough understanding of their ecology and demography and ensure that management measures are based on solid evidence.

MY LATEST RESEARCH

In April 2025 we published a new paper exploring whether we can count albatrosses on Gough Island from space.
