I am a PhD student at UC Berkeley working on computational ecology in Wayne Getz lab. My interests range from my involvement with the PEARL project, mapping global distributions of parasites as functions of climate change, to developing genetic algorithms in order to address ecological-evolutionary questions about monomorphism in mammalian carnivore scavenging behavior. I am very interested in open source & access, data science & visualization, and the stochastic nature of subjective & objective reality. Modelization by random realization.
My Research and Broader Goals
- mathematical modeling (agent based, population, disease models)
- web app software development
- machine learning (especially focused on small sample size as most of ecological / environmental science data is)
- Foxes! Check out the Channel Island foxes
Papers
- A web app for single- or multi-Population Viability Analysis
- Documenting female song in Puerto Rican Orioles
