Research
Moyes completed her B.Sc. in computer science at the University of St Andrews in 2005 with a dissertation on artificial intelligence titled Get me out of here, I'm a robot!. In 2014 Moyes helped create the BioTIME global database of biodiversity time series, a database of over 12 million records of species abundances for 50,000 species. In 2018 the database was made open access and has since been used by ecology researchers around the world. In 2019, she published research demonstrating how fish assemblages had changed over the last 30 years in the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea. Much of Moyes' current work focuses on fish and marine biodiversity and as of August 2020, her work has been cited over 1100 times.
