Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaran Rallings is a computational ecologist with 11 years’ experience applying mechanistic models to ecological forecasting and land management. As a Research Associate at Imperial College London he leads development of the animal module for the Virtual Ecosystem project, integrating demographics, herbivory, predation and behaviour into a 3D abiotic framework to enable forecasts under novel management and climate scenarios. His PhD in Quantitative and Systems Biology from UC Merced focused on body size as a driver of plant–herbivore food‑web structure, blending adaptive dynamical systems with conservation-relevant insights about large-herbivore dynamics. Comfortable with agent-based modelling, spatial data and ML-trained methods from NSF traineeships, he combines theoretical rigor with practical data workflows to translate ecological theory into policy-relevant tools.
