Edward Lavender

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Scottish Shark Group at Edinburgh Napier University. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Systems Analysis, Integrated Assessment and Modelling at the Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). My research integrates diverse observational datasets and sophisticated statistical models to study the movement and distributions of aquatic species. Current research projects are centred on modelling animal movements in Marine Protected Areas to support marine management, with a recent focus on the development and application of novel statistical approaches for animal-tracking data.
