PROFILE

My education, teaching and research supervision experience have assisted me in gaining relevant skills conservation of wildlife, ornithology, land-use ecology, chiropteran ecology, detection of avian viruses utilizing Polycromase chain reactions, prevalence of avian influenza, Newcastle disease and other viruses and wildbirds. My present research interests focus on avian ecology in urban landscapes, and this cuts across breeding, distribution and diversity.
