About me
My main interests are focused on understanding how different factors, such as land-use change, hunting pressure and climate change, shape current biodiversity patterns. I am particularly interested in finding out why, when and where species are likely to go extinct in deforestation frontiers. To do so, I use novel statistical analyses and develop approaches which help to spatially identify threats to biodiversity, and reveal how such threats change over time. I conduct policy relevant research by developing approaches that can be addressed by conservation strategies to prevent species’ extinctions.
