I am a quantitative ecologist currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan. My research is focused on using quantitative methods and scientific programming to move forward in our understanding of how species, ecological, and ecosystem processes are affected by Global Change. I am particularly interested in encouraging the use of Julia language for ecological research and to this end, I am developing programming resources for ecologists. Some examples can be found at my GitHub repository (https://github.com/jmrmcode).
