If you're looking to track animal movement using the latest #DataScience techniques, then PhD candidate @scottwilliamf is one to watch 👀

Check out his latest publication below 👇

New paper! Here we GPS-tracked kākā @NZEcosanctuary, and found that younger kākā were more exploratory and had larger home ranges, which increased their exposure to risk outside the safety of the fence. We also present an approach for dynamic space use. https://t.co/0Ehk89UVVR

How much does a model cost? Our new paper reports the costs of different ecosystem models to support fisheries. We should consider cost-benefit tradeoffs when selecting modelling frameworks for ecological decisions https://t.co/N6l0rb7Hhu. free version 👉 https://t.co/0VGRZjHXRm

It sometimes take months to model the effects of conservations actions on a complex ecosystem. But just-published research led by Centre PhD Candidate @SarahVollert uses the latest #DataScience techniques to cut that time from months to hours!

Thrilled to be representing @EcolSocAus at Science Meets Parliament this week! #SMP2024 Will also sneak in some Antarctic and Data Science chat 😄@saef_arc @QUTDataScience

[Scott Forrest @scottwilliamf]

The first paper from my PhD is now on bioRxiv! https://t.co/nF2j3dhQ0c. We incorporated temporal dynamics into the movement, selection and memory processes of an SSF, resulting in dynamic simulations that replicated behaviours of water buffalo #animalmovement

We started these in 2020 when we were feeling isolated and siloed, and it’s grown to be an inspiring and refreshing annual event. About 70 of our friends get together to nerd out on maths, share new ideas and methods, and build on each others’ questions openly and generously.

[Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG @QUTMathEcology]

We've just had an amazing two days hosting our annual environmental modelling symposium. It was incredible to see everyone over the past two days, and we're already looking forward to the next one!

[Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG @QUTMathEcology]

Queensland has an incredible community of mathematicians (and other mathsy friends) working toward understanding and protecting our environment, species, and ecosystems. Once a year, we host them at the Applied Mathematical Ecology Group (AMEG) at QUT for a two-day symposium.

[Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG @QUTMathEcology]

Only 3 more sleeps to the 2024 Applied Mathematical Ecology Symposium!

With overwhelming interest in the event, we are beyond excited to hear the latest quantitative ecology and environmental modeling research in South-East Queensland.

[Kate Helmstedt @katehelmstedt.bsky.social @KateHelmstedt]

New data can be incredibly informative when planning biodiversity protection. But sometimes we should just act given what we already know. How should we decide between those two options - manage or learn? @saef_arc/@QUTMathEcology postdoc @MD_Akinlotan has ideas and metrics

[Sarah Vollert @SarahVollert]

It only took 8 months longer than I thought it would, but the first paper of my PhD is now preprinted!

A method for generating stable & coexisting ensemble ecosystem models without the computational cost:

One of the six new prestigious mid-career Fellows in maths is female. Don’t blame ‘the system’, take action: invite us into track-record-building opportunities; give workload to write proposals; take nonstrategic service roles; mentor/sponsor/suggest us; promote, cite, trust us

[Kate Helmstedt @katehelmstedt.bsky.social @KateHelmstedt]

Congratulations @fishiintheC!! Catherine is an excellent researcher and inspiring mentor to students. Such a well-deserved commendation for very cool data science research - watch out for her upcoming pubs

[QUT @QUT]

Congratulations to #Dr Catherine Kim for Highly Commended in the 2023 Queensland Women in STEM awards for work in statistical modelling & machine learning to research coral rubble & the health of #GreatBarrierReef @GBRFoundation @QUTDataScience

[Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG @QUTMathEcology]

Congratulations @CailanJS, the @QUTMathEcology team are incredibly proud.

@CailanJS has done some phenomenal research into the adaptive features of cellular systems and ecosystems, showcasing some impressive mathematics.

[Sarah Vollert @SarahVollert]

Guess who just finished their PhD final seminar! Congratulations @CailanJS!

Thanks for teaching me that you can write your thesis doc in the last few months, that bagels are the highest form of motivation & that you can "accidentally" jigsaw-procrastinate for hours.

[Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG @QUTMathEcology]

We were absolutely delighted to have Dr Binbin Li deliver this seminar.

Not only did her talk showcase inspiring conservation research, but also shone a bright light on our fantastic masters student Zhao (@yangyuzhaomax) for organising and facilitating the talk.

[Zhao Xiang @yangyuzhaomax]

Dr Binbin Li @Taotiebin recently visited @QUTMathEcology and gave a great talk. Her talk and work are truly captivating and motivating. Balancing the challenges of conservation and community development is no easy feat, but She and her team excel at both.
