Profile
Biography
Dean joined the teaching staff in 2014 after four years in freelance environmental consultancy.
Prior to this Dean was a senior lecturer in Zoology at the University of Leeds. His main interests are in bat biology, conservation and bioacoustics, in particular the acoustic monitoring of bats and cetaceans.
Dean also has an interest in biomimetics – using biology as inspiration for engineering, and developed the Ultracane, a device based on bat echolocation which guides the visually impaired.
He is currently working on a number of projects which look at how habitats can be managed to maximise the ecosystem services they deliver.
