About Me

I’m an aquatic ecologist specializing in predicting responses to changing fish habitat, particularly habitat used by threatened and endangered species. I’ve been focused on lake sturgeon for a few years. My work and side projects take me in many different directions, but generally I am fairly focused on developing, fitting, and testing statistical models. My other interests include cross country skiing, canoeing, and hobby electronics. Feel free to check out my GitHub or find me on social media. I’m there sometimes.

A short list of projects you can find here:

Georeferencing Humminbird side imaging sonar files: A program for turning Humminbird Side Imaging files into georeferenced TIFF files for visual substrate interpretation.

Implementing Boids in QGIS: A short series of posts covering the implementation of the popular boids model as a spatially explicit agent-based model.

Other projects:

Water quality sensors: A collection of water quality monitoring devices that can be built on an extreme budget from off-the-shelf microcontrollers popular among hobbyists.

RPI-GPIO-DS1921L: Have a collection of Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor iButton thermochrons that no longer function because their batteries have died? Want to use them with a Raspberry Pi to monitor temperature in a controlled environment?
