Yi is a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland. Yi completed her Masters of Science (MSc) degree in the field of Conservation Biology at the University of Queensland, and is now embarking on her PhD with Dr Eve McDonald-Madden (UQ), Professor Yvonne Buckley (Dublin) and Dr Justine Shaw (AAD). Yi's PhD research aims to investigate the possible consequences of the eradication of non-indigenous species which are part of an ecosystem with multi-species interactions. Hopefully, her work will help conservation agencies to conduct more effective eradication methods suitable for complex situations in particular on Christmas Island and The Antarctic Peninsula.
