Senior🎓
Top SchoolClara Qin is a postdoctoral data scientist and biogeographer with 11 years of experience applying statistics and eDNA to understand soil fungal community assembly across continents. She combines rigorous quantitative methods from a Stanford MS in Statistics with a PhD in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz to evaluate threats to mycorrhizal biodiversity and inform conservation and agricultural disease management. At SPUN she develops global-scale eDNA analytics, and her prior work includes building cloud-based air quality data infrastructure for policy use. Clara’s background spans field ecology, teaching, and data engineering, giving her a rare blend of hands-on sampling expertise and reproducible computational workflows. Colleagues know her for translating ecological theory into practical monitoring tools that scale from field plots to international soil networks.
