My teaching integrates field ecology, quantitative methods, and reproducible research. I aim to help students connect ecological questions with study design, data collection, analysis, and scientific communication.
Field ecology
Hands-on training in wildlife monitoring and ecological field methods, including camera trapping, small-mammal sampling, study design, and data collection.
Quantitative ecology
Training in ecological statistics, occupancy and abundance modeling, spatial analysis, and the interpretation of ecological data.
R & reproducible research
Workshops and course materials focused on R programming, data management, visualization, reproducible workflows, and ecological analysis.
