Summary
Matthew Aiello-Lammens is an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Science at Pace University with over a decade of experience applying quantitative methods to ecological questions. Trained as an ecologist through a Ph.D. at Stony Brook and postdoctoral work at UConn, his research spans population, community, and quantitative ecology across taxa, with a particular focus on northeastern North American forest plants. He combines strong data-analysis and workflow automation skills developed in academic research and earlier roles (including scripting and MATLAB-based pipelines) to tackle large biodiversity datasets and mentor students. Known for bridging basic and applied ecology, he brings a physicist's analytical rigor from his undergraduate training to ecological problems, enabling innovative cross-disciplinary approaches.
