My current ARC Future Fellowship at Macquarie Uni follows my previously held postdoctoral positions at Macquarie Uni, New Jersey Institute of Technology and University of Sydney. I have secured over $AU3.1M in research grant funding, and published over 20 scientific papers (see up to date info on my Google Scholar page; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7xjbHpEAAAAJ&hl=en). I have written several articles for The Conversation on collective behaviour in ant colonies and slime moulds, and my work has previously been featured in National Geographic, Catalyst, BBC News, ABCNews 24 and COSMOS magazine.
