I'm a Lecturer and research fellow at theUniversity of Queensland's School of Veterinary Science. I am broadly interested in exploring new ways to (1) understand how ecological communities are formed and (2) predict how they will change over time.

• 🛠️ I maintain the R 📦{mvgam} for Bayesian time series modelling and forecasting.Here is an introductory webinar showing what mvgam does
• 💹 I also teachworkshops on Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) and time series analysis
• 💬 Ask me about coffee, tennis and quantitative ecology
• 💻 I mostly program in R and Stan, and maintaina small blog on modeling with these tools
• 😄 Pronouns: He / Him

I'm actively seeking Honours and PhD students to work in the areas of ecological forecasting, multivariate model evaluation, hierarchical GAMs and development of {mvgam}. Please reach out if you are interested
