Summary
Francisco Diaz is a Postdoctoral Scholar with eight years of experience in tropical biodiversity research, specializing in ecology, evolution and applied conservation planning. He combines rigorous quantitative skills (statistical and phylogenetic methods) with hands-on field leadership in vegetation and mammal inventories across high-priority Andean and African landscapes. His work spans academic postdocs at UChicago and UC Berkeley, collaboration with NGOs like WWF and WCS, and technical roles producing diagnostic and management-ready biodiversity assessments. Comfortable with database compilation and GPS-based movement modelling, he translates complex ecological data into actionable conservation recommendations. Notably, he pairs molecular training in non-invasive genetic sampling with practical experience designing and coordinating large-scale biotic surveys.
