I am a Lecturer in Law at Lancaster University Law School.

My main areas of research currently are human rights law, environmental law, and legal theory. I also take an interest in public law and tort law. My work has been published in a number of leading law journals, including: International & Comparative Law Quarterly, Human Rights Law Review, Journal of Environmental Law, Public Law, European Human Rights Law Review, and ECHR Law Review.

My main research project at present is theorising the relationship between the environment and human rights law. This project proceeds on the basis that the 2020s have become a pivotal decade for environmental human rights law, particularly with respect to climate change. Overall, my aim is to contribute to an ongoing effort to create the social conditions in which international human rights bodies can give effect to a more coherent and balanced vision of environmental human rights law.

In my spare time I am a keen rock climber, ice climber, alpinist and runner, and I am a member of the Alpine Club. I am also an amateur photographer.
