I am a researcher using data science and new technologies (eDNA, remote sensing, big data, bioacoustics, etc.), along with ecological know-how, to seek innovative solutions to environmental challenges. I currently work with a great team at a biodiversity startup as lead scientist in biodiversity informatics. I value collaborations. So, feel free to contact me regarding that or anything else. Peruse my Publications page to learn more about my research.

See my GitHub and blog (coming soon) for potentially useful science things. I enjoy birding, hiking, skiing, camping, growing veggies, and playing music.
