Research Interests
My research interests include the development and application of statistical modelling techniques to Ecology, Wildlife Management, and Agriculture. I am also interested in the computational implementation of statistical models, especially as R code.
I am currently working on the development of computational and statistical tools to jointly model multivariate responses in ecological studies, in particular those involving the collection of abundance measurements.
