Project: Vulnerability of Australian bats to white-nose syndrome
​
Bio: Nicholas earned his BSc (Technology) in Biological Sciences from the University of Waikato, a BSc (1st-class Honours) in Zoology and a PhD in Ecological Physiology at The University of Queensland. From 2019–2021, he was appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Sydney, and is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Western Sydney University. Nicholas is experienced with digital illustrations and graphic design, where he incorporates them to disseminate his research to both the scientific and public community. Nicholas is also a recipient of the Young Scientist Award and the R McNeill Alexander Awards for Biomechanics for the Society for Experimental Biology, and the Peter Rankin Trust Fund for Herpetology. 

Research interest: Nicholas is broadly interested in the diversity of form and function from an ecological and evolutionary framework, particularly in species with unique biology. However, his main research focus is on how changing environments constrain the physiology and life history of organisms while understanding the mechanisms for how they cope with environmental stressors. Nicholas' work primarily utilise vertebrates like reptiles, amphibians, fish and bats as model systems, and he approaches his research from an integrative perspective, from molecular to whole-organism to macroecological responses.
