Personal profile

Biography

Research Interests:

- algae (seaweeds and microalgae) and seagrasses in environmental research (e.g. Climate Change, environmental impact assessment, water quality) and biotechnology

- sustainable utilisation of algal (e.g. seaweed) resources- impacts of environmental variability in algal biochemical (e.g. bioactive) composition and feedback mechanisms

- targeted cultivation of algae for optimised production of biomass and metabolites with commercial value or potential

- fundamental and applied aspects of the biology, ecology and biotechnology of both macroalgae (seaweeds) and microalgae, and seagrasses.

A major emphasis of her research is the development of innovative and sustainable systems for harnessing of algae for provision of useful products and services for humanity whilst ensuring sustainable utilisation of natural resources.

Current research projects includeaspects of commercial utilisation of algae and the assessment of their habitats and distribution (e.g. novel mapping approaches), and the role of algae and seagrasses in marine ecosystem functioning and climate change research.

Research Interests

Algal biology, ecology and biotechnology. Research interests focus on ecological and metabolic responses of primary producers (seaweeds, microalgae, seagrasses) to their environment (including effects of climate change and anthropogenic influences such as harvesting regimes and deterioration of water quality), the targeted cultivation of macro- and microalgae for optimised production of seaweed and algal biomass, and primary and secondary metabolites with industrial potential.
