As a Research Assistant, my primary responsibilities revolve around developing intricate models and simulations to address complex research inquiries. Leveraging Wolfram Mathematica, I specialize in modeling a power statistical analysis in local adaptation models, employing cutting-edge computational tools to unravel intricate patterns and relationships.

• Science and Technology BranchWildlife Research Division
• Assisted land-birds capture and banding at Alaksen National Wildlife Area and surrounding farms.
• Assisted the deployment of 25 radio transmitters on Song Sparrows and tracked all individuals during Winter 2023 (November 2023 to March 2024).
• Labelled, preserved, organized, and stored blood and feather samples collected during fieldwork.
• Developed a code to estimate home range size (95% and 50%) and their asymptotic area curves in the R Program.
• Conducted a quantitative GIS analysis to estimate vegetation height and the percentage of land cover at multiple spatial scales ranging from 100m to 5000m around several points in British Columbia. I extracted.

Bogota, D.C., Capital District, Colombia

• Conducted quantitative analysis that focused on developing Environmental Impact Study (EIS) solutions to protect and conserve wildlife affected by oil, gas, and infrastructure projects
• Developed hypotheses and assumptions to construct statistical models and validated their accuracy through regression analysis. Created interactive dashboards in Power BI and Excel to visualize and analyze the results..
• Built statistical modeling and data selection techniques in R and Python that helped find trends and patterns in complex biological datasets. Improvement of accuracy scoring and validation models. Generated cloud.
• Continuously enhanced regression analysis models such as Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and GAM+LogReg to enable spatial predictions of species distributions based on survey design and implementation, and leveraged.
