Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Dambros is an adjunct professor and ecological data scientist with 13 years of experience applying R programming, Bayesian statistics, and community ecology to real-world biodiversity questions. Trained with a Ph.D. from the University of Vermont and field data collected in the Brazilian Amazon, he bridges rigorous statistical modeling and hands-on ecological research across academic posts in Brazil, the UK, and the US. His work combines teaching and mentorship at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria with focused research stints—such as a research fellowship at the University of East Anglia and postdoctoral work in Goiás—where he developed Bayesian approaches to multi-species and multi-scale ecological inference. Comfortable translating complex models into reproducible R workflows, he brings both deep domain expertise in entomology and ecology and a practical knack for making advanced statistics accessible to students and collaborators.
