Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Graham is an Associate Professor in Ecological Modelling with 11 years’ experience applying spatial and computational approaches to understand how environmental change shapes species distributions and inform landscape-scale conservation planning. Trained originally as a mathematician and database developer, she combines strong quantitative, GIS and data-management skills with advanced statistical methods to make novel use of citizen science and time-series data. Her PhD work translated metapopulation theory into practical urban planning and ecological impact assessment, and her research has since spanned NASA- and ERC-funded projects on climate impacts and ecosystem service scaling. Based in Birmingham, she blends academic leadership with hands-on modelling, often bridging complex-systems theory and applied conservation decisions in ways that surface actionable insights for planners and policymakers.
