Summary
Sarah Supp is an Associate Professor of Data Analytics at Denison University and an ecologist with 15 years of experience applying data science to biodiversity questions. Her research blends field studies, macroecological synthesis, and computational tools to track how and why biodiversity is changing and to make results rapidly usable for conservation practitioners. She designs and teaches courses that span data collection, reproducible workflows, visualization, and coding, mentoring undergraduates from STEM and the humanities to solve real-world problems. A former NSF postdoctoral fellow, she has worked with large collaborative projects and citizen-science data (including eBird) to test ecological theory at broad scales. Her dual focus on rigorous ecological inference and practical, transparent analytics yields insights that are both scientifically robust and directly actionable for land managers.
