My research focuses broadly on ecological extinctions of terrestrial mammals in the neotropics. I’m using predictive models to understand how the distributions of wild cats are affected by change in forest cover and connectivity. The goal of my research is to better understand what factors lead to ecological extinctions of wide-ranging species. I’m interested in an interdisciplinary approach to research and I am becoming increasingly excited about new technologies for biodiversity conservation, namely machine learning and radar.
