Kevin Winner is a staff scientist and computational ecologist with a decade of experience developing probabilistic and graphical-model-based machine learning methods for population dynamics, spatial ecology, and animal movement. Based at Yale’s Center for Biodiversity and Global Change, he combines deep probabilistic inference expertise with large-scale ecological data—ranging from moth and salamander time-series to continent-scale bird migration inferred from Doppler radar. He earned a PhD in computer science from UMass Amherst and brings a strong experimental background in teaching and applied research from academic and government labs including the Smithsonian. Kevin’s research is notable for tackling latent-variable models with countably infinite support for abundance time series, a niche that bridges rigorous theory and actionable conservation insights.
