Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmma Hudgins is an early-career quantitative ecologist and lecturer at the University of Melbourne who builds decision-focused models to improve management of species whose distributions are shifting due to human influence. With eight years of research experience and a PhD in Ecology from McGill, she combines spatial optimisation techniques and applied modelling to tackle invasive species and forest pest problems at landscape scales. Her postdoctoral work at Carleton developed practical frameworks for prioritising interventions against North American forest pests, translating theory into implementable management strategies. Based in Melbourne, she bridges academia and applied conservation, bringing rigorous quantitative tools to real-world policy and management questions. An implicit strength is her focus on actionable outcomes—optimising where and when to act—rather than purely theoretical advances.
