Research Interests:

Invertebrate taxonomy and systematics. I have worked primarily on Cephalopods belonging to the Order Sepioidea (cuttlefish and dumpling squids) and my doctoral research was done on the Onychophora, or velvet worms.

I am still working on Cephalopod taxonomy in my spare time and am currently a recipient of an ABRS (Australian Biological Resources Study) grant to work on the Australian representatives of three families: Sepiolidae, Sepidariidae and Idiosepiidae.

I am also working on an Identification Guide to the Cephalopods of Australia.

Other experience:

I have worked as a freelance copyeditor, mainly on scientific manuscripts and books, for CSIRO Publishing and Australian Academic Press since 1999.
