Visiting Scholar

I am an assistant research scientist with Texas A&M’s Natural Resources Institute, adopted into Dr. Fieberg’s lab as I work remotely from Minnesota. I work with the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s southeastern region and other experts across state agencies, universities, and other organizations, to lead the development of Species Status Assessments (SSAs) for federally threatened and endangered species.

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/).
