Professor Tariq Butt
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile Professor Butt leads the Biocontrol and Natural Products (BANP) group at Swansea University which develops biopesticides from natural products for the control of invertebrate pests that impact on food security, tree health, and human and animal health. He is also co-lead of the Natural Products BioHub and co-director of the…

Professor Mike Fowler
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile My research focusses on how species interactions and stochastic environmental variability combine to influence different types of ecological stability and invasive species dynamics. I combine analytical, simulation and statistical modelling approaches to investigate how different forms of environmental variation (spatial and/or temporal) drive changes in populations, always aiming to combine…

Professor Luca Borger
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile I am an ecologist, interested in quantitatively assessing environmental change impacts on local and global biodiversity and identifying the underlying individual- and community-level mechanistic processes (movement, traits, demography, interactions) to develop predictive models and derive policies for sustainable life on earth. I hold a Chair in Ecology and Biodiversity, am…

Professor Emily Shepard
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile I am interested in the mechanisms underlying animal movement and distributions, in particular, the movement of flying animals. The costs of flight are modulated by the physical environment, namely the weather, the landscape and the nature of the interactions between them. I use animal-attached technology to investigate how these factors…

Dr Miguel Lurgi Rivera
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile I am a computational ecologist focusing on the development of ecological theory and the analysis of large datasets to gain a better understanding of community assembly and ecological patterns of species distributions and interactions in complex natural communities. My main research focus is on the mechanisms behind the emergence of complexity in ecological networks and…

Dr Konstans Wells
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile I am an ecologist and modeller, focusing on the consequences of environmental change on biodiversity, wildlife, invasive species and host-parasite interactions. My interests include questions of how insights from demographic and epidemiological dynamics, species range dynamics and bio-geographic patterns can be used to identify key processes for optimizing conservation and…

Dr Eva C. Sonnenschein
Available for Postgraduate Supervision Profile I am a marine microbiologist investigating the complex ecosystems surrounding both microalgae and microplastics, aiming to understand their microbial communities and interactions. Microalgae are responsible for 50% of the global carbon fixation, while also holding immense promise in biotechnological advancements. Their health in Nature and applied settings is intrinsically interlinked…
