Teaching
Research
Broad background in plant biochemistry and enzymology plus experience of molecular biology. Particular areas of interest include photosynthesis (carbon metabolism/carbohydrates), antioxidant systems and plant stress responses culminating in cell death. Current research is concerned with the impact of post-ingestion plant metabolism on rumen function.
Research Groups
- Sustainable Grassland Systems and Agri-Food
- Greenhouse gas reduction in livestock agriculture
