Carex-Racomitrium heath on Glas Maol

Overview

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in urban and upland ecology, systems and design thinking, and colonial Scottish history.

  • Research Interests

    My current research interests include:

    • The multispecies role of urban connective infrastructures, such as rivers, canals, roads, trainlines, and electricity pylons, and how we can more effectively plan and promote these roles
    • The application of ‘safe-to-fail’ design, and its’ potential to support climate resilience and biodiversity promotion
    • The ecological cost of scaling up projects and products
    • Multi-functional product design for sustainability
  • Previous Works
