Educational credentials
University of Otago
Master's degree, Zoology Jan 2021 - May 2023
Grade: A average
Developing a freshwater biomonitoring method using DNA techniques to allow for real-time water health information using CRISPR-Cas enrichment and freshwater macroinvertebrates.
- Involved cutting edge technology in PC1 and PC2 labs and field work.
- Supervised by Dr Eddy Dowle, Dr Neil Gemmell and Dr Christoph Matthaei
- I attempted to make a DNA-based health monitoring technique of freshwater streams using CRISPR-Cas enrichment which would allow for much faster real-time information about the current health of New Zealand freshwater waterways.
