Stephanie Law

Stephanie Law is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. Stephanie started her academic studies at the University of Liverpool, graduating with a first class honours degree in zoology in 2005. She has now returned 10 years later to embark on a PhD in environmental science. The intervening years have led Stephanie to explore the world of teaching, expeditions and youth development. While employed as a teacher of biology she led a number of expeditions to the Peruvian Amazon and gained an MSc in conservation science. With a passion for tropical rainforests, Stephanie completed her MSc thesis on tracking frugivorous monitor lizards in the Sierra Madre mountain range in the north-east Philippines. Her PhD returns to rainforests but this time to the canopy. Her current research focuses on the vertical stratification and ecological functioning of ants in tropical rainforests. Any spare time she has often involves heading out to the mountains for a hike or climb, or riding her much-loved road bike.
