Overview
Overview:
I am Statistical Ecologist or Ecological Statistician, not sure yet...
My research involves the development and use of complex spatio‑temporal statistical models, geographic information systems (GIS), and working collaboratively in a multi‑disciplinary environment to understand complex ecological systems.
My research interests include:
- Spatial and spatio‑temporal models applied to species distribution.
- Understanding the effects and causality of environmental disturbances such as forest fires, pests, pollutants and climate change.
- Applications of statistics in environmental science and conservation.
I am an active member of the statistical ecology community, including organising the seminar series of the National Centre for Statistical Ecology (NCSE).
Background:
Prior to joining Exeter I was working at the University of Kent, first as PDRA in Statistics at the Statistical Ecolgy group (SE@K) and from 2021 as Teaching Fellow in Statistics. Previously, during my PhD, I developed my career in industry working as Data Analyst and Data Scientist in different companies such as Wipro Ecoenergy and Thames Water Utilities.
- PhD in Statistics, University of Valencia (Spain). "Spatio Temporal Modeling of Species Distribution".
- MSc in Biostatistics, University of Valencia (Spain)
- BEng in Forest Engineering, University of Oviedo (Spain)
Please get in touch if you would like to develop a collaboration/PhD or Internship on Statistical Ecology.
