What We Do<\/a><\/h3>

We conduct research in both conservation biology<\/strong> and and social justice<\/strong>, and at the intersection of these two themes.<\/p>\n

We study acoustic ecology, investigate human-wildlife interactions, urban ecology, and explore novel strategies for restoring biodiversity, both nationally and internationally. We also work on multiple collaborative projects to apply a wide range of technological tools, e.g. machine learning, acoustic recorders, and camera traps, to generate technology-enabled solutions to pressing conservation challenges. We also blend social science and conservation science to investigate barriers to DEI in STEM, and to address social justice issues in wildlife conservation.<\/p>\n
