- Bachelor of Science, 1979, Monash University
- Doctor of Philosophy, 1983, Monash University [Contributions to the systematics of the Pseudoscorpionida (Arachnida): the genus Synsphyronus Chamberlin (Garypidae) and the family Sternophoridae]
Research Interests
For nearly 25 years I have maintained a research programme devoted to the systematics and biogeography of Australasian arachnids, with major contributions to the study of pseudoscorpions, spiders and water mites, as well as some of the smaller orders such as the Schizomida and Amblypygi.
