Summary

I am an associate professor at Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. My research interests are wildlife survey, conservation planning, animal movement, species distribution modelling, and machine learning. I teach statistics in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2006. I like to develop statistical tools to interpret ecological patterns and processes. I have published four R packages: interactionRPIR, cameratrapR, abundanceR, and migrationR. I also published over 100 peer reviewed articles. I am a subject editor for journals Global Change Biology and Integrative Zoology.
