Biography/Research
I am broadly interested in using primarily quantitative approaches (with a sprinkling
of fieldwork) to understand the movement ecology of a variety of species across a
variety of systems (terrestrial, marine, aerial, etc.). My recent (and future) research
focuses on applying and developing novel quantitative approaches and tools to animal
movement and location data to better understand spatial-temporal patterns in behavior
and specifically, how human activity and development interacts with and/or disrupts
this. Ultimately, I aim to produce research products that are immediately applicable
for management and conservation, through active collaboration and partnerships with
non-profit organizations, as well as state and federal government authorities.
