Welcome!

Hi, I’m Alejandro — Researcher & Data Scientist

I work at the interface of ecology and data science, using advanced analytical approaches to tackle complex questions about biodiversity and environmental change.

My academic research focuses on understanding how species respond to climate change — from the fine-scale microclimates experienced by endangered spectacled flying foxes to the large-scale redistribution of tropical montane birds.
My data science work applies many of the same modelling, forecasting, and analytical skills to broader problems, developing solutions that are rigorous, transparent, and actionable.

Bridging Research & Application

What drives me is turning complexity into clarity.
I use tools such as hierarchical Bayesian models, spatiotemporal analysis, and machine learning to:

• Reveal patterns in high-dimensional ecological and environmental data.
• Forecast changes under future scenarios.
• Support decision-making with evidence-based strategies.

Whether working in conservation or applied analytics, my goal is to produce insights that can be acted upon — helping managers, stakeholders, and communities respond to change.
