Summary
I work in the museum's informatics group on a number of projects related to the digitisation of collections. Working closely with other scientists and with curators, I develop processes and software to support digitisation such as the automated segmentation of scanned images of multiple specimens, reading barcodes within images and annotation of metadata.
I also work on PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) - a collaborative project that is investigating how biodiversity in terrestrial communities responds to human pressures. We model biodiversity responses at a global scale using data collected at local levels. My main job in the team is to produce software to handle all aspects of the project's data including collation, validation, curation, visualisation and extraction. The project has collated more 3 million biodiversity measurements.
During my PhD I investigated the relationship between dynamics and structure of multi-trophic ecological communities, in particular the modelling approach proposed by Yodzis & Innes, 1992. Mathematical models of the dynamics of systems of realistic complexity have a large number of unmeasured parameters, and whole-community data are limited and typically comprise only a snapshot or time-averaged picture. Yodzis & Innes proposed a dynamical model that is parameterised using physiological allometries - empirically-observed inter-specic power-law relationships between physiological rates and body masses. I examined this modelling approach and some of its assumptions. Outcomes of this work are 1) publication of a new dataset of field metabolic rate data of individual birds and mammals together with an analysis of these data using linear mixed-effects models, leading to a better understanding of one of the model's principal assumptions, 2) an open-source R package for analysing and visualising empirical food-web data, 3) an open-source R package for simulating community dynamics using the model of interest and 4) validation of the model's ability to recreate static patterns seen in empirical community data.
I love working with open-source software, particularly Python, Linux, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, R, Qt and OpenCV.
