I use my training in applied statistics to develop mathematical models of ecological systems. Currently, I am working on invasive carp and bat population models. My skillset includes expertise in computing and machine learning, with particular interest in Bayesian approaches, neural networks, and computer vision.

Modeling to inform bighead and silver carp management
Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are invasive carp species within the Mississippi River basin. In the early-1970s these species escaped from ponds where people introduced them to control algae (ICRCC). Invasive carp cause ecological and economic damage by outcompeting native species and disrupting native food webs. Stopping the spread of these...
