Specializing in R and Python, he offers one-on-one consultations to address research data related questions throughout the research life cycle.
Alex works in computational biology and has a professional background as a software developer and an undergraduate degree in math and computer science. This unique combination of education and experience allows Alex to straddle the computing, statistics and biology worlds. His areas of research interest include reproducibility in research methods, computational biology/ecology, movement ecology, and ecological forecasting.
