Biography

Mark Ooi is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Ecosystem Science, part of the School of Biological, Earth, and Environmental Sciences at the University of New South Wales. His research interests focus on fire and plant ecology, particularly the ecology of seeds. Much of his work is concentrated on understanding the mechanistic responses of plant populations to fire regimes, the conservation of threatened species, and the effects of climate change. Mark has established strong collaborative links with government conservation agencies and aims to effectively communicate his research findings to on-ground managers and the community. He is a member of the NSW Bushfire Risk Management Research Hub and the Threatened Species Recovery Hub, and he is involved in collaborative projects with researchers from Europe, China, and Brazil. Mark leads multiple research projects on topics such as the ecological impacts of fire seasonality and intensity shifts, the dormancy and germination of native species, and the conservation of threatened plant species, including translocation science and science communication. Additionally, Mark serves as an Associate Editor for journals such as the American Journal of Botany, Seed Science Research, and the Australian Journal of Botany.
