Summary
Dr Henri is a behavioural ecologist and entomologist, specialising in population dynamics.
His ecological research focuses on the impact of environmental change, such as urbanisation and intensive agriculture, on animal behaviour, community-composition and ecosystem-stability.
Dr Henri is also a published pedagogical researcher, studying the development of student autonomy and self-esteem in preparation for employment.
I have won local and national awards for my teaching and science communication in a range of areas in conservation and ecology. I currently lead the final year module titled Practical Conservation, a specialist module that uses our extensive network of conservation contacts to prepare students for a career in the UK conservation and/or ecology sectors. I further contribute to teaching on ecology, animal behaviour, and conservation at all levels of study (from Foundation to MSc).
In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I am the Director of Studies for the Department of Biological and Marine Sciences. In this role, I have overarching responsibility for student attainment, satisfaction, retention, and graduate outcomes across all of our departmental programmes.
