I collaborate with research groups across the world and consult industry on the formation of biofilms, nuisance fouling and the infochemistry of bacterial and larval settlement. Our Non-invasive Oyster Sensor (NOSy) monitors gaping frequency in oysters using high-frequency magnetic valvometry. My group is currently developing novel analytical tools for the characterisation of environmental volatile metabolomes (volatilomes). Key to my investigations are gas chromatographic analyses that utilise various detectors (flame ionisation, flame photometric and mass spectrometric) to quantify and identify trace gases. I develop sensor technologies for trace gas quantification and monitoring of bivalve (oyster) behaviour. Many of the BVOCs I study transfer into the atmosphere where they contribute to the biogeochemical cycling of important elements and affect atmospheric processing, particle formation and climate. My research addresses fundamental questions on the role of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the physiology and ecology of aquatic organisms.
