Profile Summary

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Ecology with over 10 years of experience in biodiversity modeling, remote sensing, and ecological data analysis. I hold a PhD in Ecology and currently work at Colorado State University, following a NASA-funded postdoc at Purdue University. My research integrates satellite imagery (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, GEDI LiDAR, DESIS hyperspectral) with ecological field data and passive acoustic monitoring to model species distributions, plant diversity, and habitat change. I specialize in species distribution modeling (SDMs), Bayesian inference, and machine learning techniques for ecological forecasting and conservation. I offer support in: Ecological model development using R, Python, and Google Earth Engine Species and habitat distribution mapping Biodiversity analysis from ecoacoustic and remote sensing datasets Scientific manuscript editing and review (ecology, conservation, environment) I have a strong publication record and experience in teaching statistical modeling. Whether you're a researcher, conservation organization, or company working with ecological data, I can help you turn complex datasets into actionable insights. Let’s collaborate to advance your research or publication goals.
