I am a PhD student at the University of Göttingen (Germany) and have been in close collaboration with the Fieberg Lab since 2014. My research involves the development of quantitative methods and software implementations for the analysis of animal movement data. Currently I am working on a software package for program R to analyze telemetry data (more about the rhr package can be found here: http://jmsigner.github.io/rhrman/). I am also conducting research that compares different analytical approaches in terms of their ability to answer biologically meaningful questions. I also like collaborating with other researchers on real world problems that can be addressed with telemetry data. Beside the analysis of movement data, I am generally interested in the quantitative approaches in wildlife ecology. I also enjoy teaching. Each spring semester I teach a class introducing quantitative methods in wildlife management to undergraduate students. I have also taught workshops on how to handle spatial data in R and how to analyze telemetry data with R. Beside science, I am interested in literature, hiking and cycling.
