BIO

We use species evolutionary history to better understand and predict their present-day ecology. Our lab develops new statistical and computational tools to answer fundamental questions about the origins and future of biodiversity, and applies those insights to improve human wellbeing.

We work directly with governments, charities, and the private sector to solve problems with biodiversity, health, and statistics/AI. If you have a problem you would like to solve, please reach out directly to me: I don't normally charge for charity or government work, but have helped businesses at competitive rates.
