Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Lopez is an environmental consultant and ecologist with a Ph.D. and nine years of experience blending field ecology, conservation strategy, and data science to tackle biodiversity challenges across aquatic and terrestrial systems. He couples rigorous biostatistics and machine learning expertise—reinforced by a recent Master's in Data Science—with hands-on project leadership from EU-funded research to foundation-driven conservation programs. Comfortable moving between code, models, and the field, Alex has coordinated technical teams, implemented digital tools for project management and visualization, and mentored early-career researchers. His background ranges from amphibian and stream ecology to marine diet studies and quality oversight in industry, reflecting a pragmatic, multidisciplinary approach. Based in Spain and active in computer vision and data-science communities, he brings an uncommon mix of advanced ecological insight and production-ready analytical skills to conservation planning and environmental consultancy.
