Assistant Professor - Plant Ecology
; PhD. in Agroecology 1993 at the University of Reading, UK; BSc (Hons) 2i in Environmental Science 1988, University of Southampton, UK. Interested in the spatial distribution & dynamics of weed populations & how to detect, map & model such populations, both in agricultural and natural systems.
