Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified biological researcher specialising in animal behaviour, development, animal welfare, ecology and statistical analysis. My research spans wild, captive and commercial animal systems, including mammals, birds, insects, fish-related conservation datasets and commercial poultry. I have more than nine years of experience using R and can support projects involving data cleaning, exploratory analysis, statistical modelling, visualisation, interpretation and reproducible research workflows. My statistical experience includes Bayesian hierarchical models, GLMMs, GAMs, multivariate and hurdle models, social-network analysis, ERGMs/TERGMs and longitudinal/repeated-measures data. I also have experience with SQL, R Shiny, GIS and large automated behavioural datasets.
