Biography

I have worked at UWS since 1990 teaching and researching in plant biology. As well as my current teaching responsibilities in botany and biology, I contribute to ecology and biochemistry. Previously, I have taught plant physiology, vegetable production, crop technology and statistics. I make extensive use of online materials to support my teaching. Prior to commencing at UWS, I worked at Wageningen Agricultural University in The Netherlands.
