Rate My Professor Peter Todd

Peter Alan Todd is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he leads the Experimental Marine Ecology Laboratory. He is an experimental marine ecologist who focuses on organism-environment interactions in nearshore waters, especially those close to urban centres. In both his curiosity-driven and translational work, he emphasises the design, build, implementation, and analysis of high-quality novel experiments. His research generates large quantities of new information and the great majority of his publications are data based. He is fundamentally concerned with increasing understanding of the ecology and functioning of tropical coastal marine organisms and communities.
