Y3 projects:

I offer a mix of wet and dry projects in the fields of ecology and epidemiology.

I terms of ecology, I am particularly interested in the long-term monitoring of biodiversity in our local environment, so run several projects each year investigating the status of different flora and fauna across campus. Students contribute towards a longitudinal data-set and analysis with the opportunity to feedback their findings into the Warwick Sustainability team. These projects offered in collaboration with the Living Lab, offer the opportunity for fieldwork and data analysis.

In the field of epidemiology, I offer dry projects investigating the transmission and control of vector borne disease, such as Leishmania. These projects use data that is already collected or publicly available, so are focussed on complex analyses of data or modelling of the data.

Examples of previous project titles are:

·Biodiversity of invertebrates on the University Campus.

·Knowledge, attitudes and practices of life scientists in relation to climate change.

·Using education to enhance control of Chagas disease.

·Drivers of Leishmania insect vector abundance in Brazil.

·Can pheromone baited traps be used for integrated vector control in Brazil.
