Summary
Within Hymenoptera the Hymenoptera team I am principal curator of Ichneumonoidea and various groups which used to be classified as Vespoidea, with the Ichneumonidae my main area of interest. My research interests focus on the taxonomy and diversity of Ichneumonidae and on biodiversity genomics, through the Darwin Tree of Life project. I am vice-president (president-elect) of two great societies, the International Society of Hymenopterists and the British Entomological and Natural History Society.
