Research title: Developing a nested, multiscale framework for modelling animal movement processes from long-term tracking data

Research Summary

Thesis

My research is focused on developing a nested, multiscale framework for modelling animal movement processes from long-term tracking data.

Research Interests

I am interested in spatial modelling of ecological processes, particularly through spatial point process, multiscale, animal movement, and species distribution modelling.
