Martin Wilkes

As an ecologist with an industry background in data science, I am interested in data-driven explanations and predictions of biodiversity change.

Utilising large (river basin to global) scale datasets, ecological theory, statistical programming and high performance computing, my mission is to support the environmental science and management communities in finding solutions to the challenges of maintaining biodiversity, food production and water security in a changing world.

My research interests include ecology, biodiversity science, fisheries, eDNA metabarcoding, biogeography, metacommunity theory, artificial Intelligence, machine Learning, species distribution modelling, research software development.
