Patrick is a forest ecologist interested in the mechanisms that structure and maintain plant diversity in the tropics and how these mechanisms operate across varying spatial scales. As part of this, he is analyzing hyperspectral and other remote sensing data to map focal tropical tree species at landscape scales. Patrick received his Undergraduate and Masters degree in Biology from the University of Sheffield in 2017, where he also completed his Ph.D. in Tropical Forest Ecology in 2021. Before joining the lab, Patrick spent 3 years as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Reading.
