Adam's research focuses on restoring the critically endangered natural temperate grasslands of south-eastern Australia. His PhD is exploring ways to improve how we control exotic plants, manage biomass, and reintroduce native forbs to the natural temperate grasslands of the south-eastern highlands.

Prior to this, Adam conducted his honours and worked within the CSIRO biological control team to model the spread and effectiveness of a rust fungal biocontrol pathogen on a Weed of National Significance. He has three years of practical experience as a bush regenerator and more recently as a ranger caring for one of the few remnant patches of natural temperate grassland known to contain the critically endangered Canberra grassland earless dragon. He grows native forbs in his free time.
