Tak is deeply interested in solving sustainability issues.
He uses computational modeling as a tool to tell hidden stories of social and ecological systems. He tends to work on varisous subjects in different parts of the world. His research spans diverse topics and regions of the world, with a current focus on the negative impacts of human–wildlife interactions. He aims to develop methods for predicting human–wildlife encounters and for mitigating their consequences.
He has taught at three universities in three countries that speak three different languages. He is originally from Japan but has never taught there. He teaches courses in ecology and quantitative methods. Outside of academia, he enjoys hiking, biking, and cooking.
Eyal is an ecologist and systems modeler whose work focuses on developing novel computational methods to advance both sustainability and human wellbeing.
Naomi is aquatic ecologist and work as a URA at Institute of Science Tokyo. With us she works for plant stress mapping and global human-wildlife conflict project.
Tanner is a PhD student. He is interested in leveraging novel technologies and methods to monitor and model spatiotemporal components of human-wildlife interactions and their consequences.
Lakshmi is a researcher from Kannur University, co-supervised by Prof Joseph Erinjery. She works in the Wayanad region of the Western Ghats, exploring the relationships between human-wildlife conflicts and land cover, with the goal of informed conflict mitigation. She also conducts population survey of Bonnet macaque to understand how ecological and anthropogenic factors shape their populations.
Aliyu is a PhD student of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), co-supervised by Prof Kris Murray and Tak. He is trained as vetnarian and conduct wide range of analysis on zoonoses and human-wildlife interactions in The Gambia.
After five years in sustainable finance, Salomé decided to pursue her passion for animal conservation. She now studies biodiversity and landscape ecology, with interests in species conservation and the use of spatial data. Her Mac study explores the role of forest fragmentation in supporting biodiversity within oil palm plantation landscapes in Malaysian Borneo, where she has conducted in person field work.
Brian is MSc student. He is interested in land cover changes and its impacts on ecological systems.
Naomi wants to become a marine biologist, but for now she helps with our terrestrial projects!
