Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranziska Korner-nievergelt is a senior scientist and statistician with 15+ years bridging ecology and quantitative methods to make conservation decisions more transparent under uncertainty. She develops and applies statistical models to estimate mortality, causes of death, movement, and reproductive mechanisms for hard-to-observe species, combining rigorous analysis with hands-on field biology at the Swiss Ornithological Institute and Universität Basel. As a statistical advisor and co-founder-level contributor at oikostat GmbH, she translates complex ecological data into actionable guidance and has a track record of moderating structured decision processes that blend team coaching with technical expertise. Her training spans a PhD in Ecology, advanced statistics certificates, and a CAS in team dynamics, enabling her to operate at the intersection of science, methods, and collaboration. Colleagues value her for tackling tricky inference problems and for turning opaque uncertainty into clearer management options.
