Undertaking a Ph.D in Rutiliini systematics (Diptera: Tachinidae).

Area of expertise: Australian, Oceanian and Melanesian Rutiliini, and some of their calyptrate lookalike taxa from these regions. Some familiarity with other Dexiinae, and the more distinct-looking taxa in the other tachinid subfamilies (Australian taxa).

General interest in Australasian, Indo-Malayan and far eastern Palearctic (Oriental?) Calyptratae.
