Ecological researcher with six years of experience in landscape ecology, remote sensing, and ecological modelling.

Profile Summary

My work integrates remote sensing datasets such as Landsat and MODIS with field-based ecological observations to examine landscape change, disturbance regimes, and vegetation dynamics. I specialize in statistical modelling and spatial analysis using R, applying techniques such as mixed-effects models, time-series analysis, and ecological diversity metrics to understand complex ecological patterns. I offer support in: • Ecological and spatial data analysis using R • Remote sensing analysis for land-cover change and vegetation dynamics • Statistical modelling of ecological and environmental datasets • Scientific writing, manuscript editing, and reviewer response preparation • Research design and data interpretation for ecological studies I also have experience teaching ecology and physiology at the college level, which has strengthened my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively. Whether you are a researcher, conservation organization, or institution working with ecological data, I can help transform complex datasets into meaningful ecological insights and high-quality scientific outputs. I look forward to collaborating on research and conservation projects that contribute to a better understanding and management of ecological systems.
