I am Assistant Faculty Pro-Vice Chancellor (AFPVC) for Education and Student Experience in the Faculty of Sciences and Professor in Biology in the Department of Life Sciences at Aberystwyth University. I am a graduate of Aberystwyth University with a BSc in Zoology and Microbiology and a PhD on Flow Cytometry of Microorganisms.

Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales

My research interests include microbial physiology using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a biotechnologically-relevant setting to understand viability and vitality, stress response and heterogeneity. Methods include flow cytometry, radio-frequency impedance spectroscopy, barcode arrays and multivariate data analysis methods. Part of this work is undertaken collaboratively with AU spin-out company Aber Instruments Ltd.
