Biography 

Research Fellow in Crop Technology.

I am a part time lecturer in crop production and agronomy at the RAU, which I combine with a role as a policy adviser in Defra and work on the family run farm in Essex. My PhD was from the Universities of Bristol and Reading (in collaboration with Historic England), focusing on Precision Farming and Archaeology, studying the impacts that humans have had on the landscape for thousands of years and why this is important for land managers today and in the future.
