Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElise Larsen is an Assistant Research Professor in Biology at Georgetown University with 11 years of experience studying butterfly ecology through informatics-driven analyses of occurrence and monitoring data. Her work quantifies abundance and phenology, teases apart environmental and trait-based drivers, and uses species traits to infer patterns for understudied taxa while emphasizing reproducible, open-access methods. Based in McLean, VA, she combines rigorous PhD training from the University of Maryland with a practical conservation focus developed through earlier MS and BS studies. Less obvious: she bridges field ecology and computational synthesis, turning large, messy public datasets into transparent resources that support both basic research and applied biodiversity monitoring.
