Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancisco Rodríguez-sánchez is a computational ecologist and data scientist with over a decade of experience applying advanced statistical modelling, machine learning, and GIS to ecological and conservation problems. With a PhD in Biology and roles at Universidad de Sevilla, Cambridge, CSIC and Microsoft Research, he builds reproducible analytical workflows and R packages to turn large, messy ecological datasets into actionable insights. He has led large-scale biodiversity and forest-change analyses—managing databases of >150,000 vegetation inventories—and develops hierarchical Bayesian and state-space models to forecast species and ecosystem responses to climate and land-use change. An experienced educator and community organiser, he regularly teaches GLMMs, multilevel models and modern statistics with R and cofounded the Sevilla R Users Group and AEET-Ecoinformatics working group. He combines field experience in Mediterranean forests with production-grade spatial ML and automation, and maintains an active open-source presence (Pakillo) showcasing his R tooling and reproducible research.
