What I Can Do For Your Project

Marine Biodiversity Data Analysis

I work with species occurrence, abundance, and monitoring datasets to produce meaningful ecological summaries. This includes species richness and diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson, Chao1), rarefaction curves, community composition analysis, and temporal or spatial comparisons across sites.

Suitable for

Monitoring programmes, environmental impact assessments, conservation surveys

Deliverables

• Diversity index tables and summaries
• Rarefaction and accumulation curves
• Community composition reports
• Site comparison matrices

Ecological & Statistical Analysis

Multivariate and univariate statistical analysis tailored to marine and environmental datasets. I use R and Python to run ordination (PCA, NMDS, RDA, CCA), permutation tests (PERMANOVA, ANOSIM), GLMs, and mixed-effects models — with full documentation of methods and assumptions.

Suitable for

Academic research, environmental consultancy, regulatory reporting

Deliverables

• Ordination plots and biplots
• Statistical test outputs with interpretation
• Model selection and diagnostics
• Reproducible R/Python scripts

Taxonomic Data Support

Identification, verification, and curation of taxonomic records for marine invertebrates and macroalgae. I can audit existing species lists against current nomenclature, resolve synonymies, flag uncertain identifications, and build structured taxonomic databases aligned with WoRMS or GBIF standards.

Suitable for

Museum collections, biodiversity databases, monitoring programmes

Deliverables

• Verified and updated species lists
• Synonymy and nomenclature audit reports
• Structured taxonomic databases
• Identification uncertainty flags

Molecular & Phylogenetic Analysis

Sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and population genetics for marine organisms. I work with mitochondrial and nuclear markers, run maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses, and interpret results in the context of species delimitation, biogeography, and evolutionary history.

Suitable for

Taxonomic revisions, population studies, cryptic species investigations

Deliverables

• Aligned sequence datasets
• Annotated phylogenetic trees (Newick, PDF)
• Population structure summaries
• Methods section for publication

Data Visualization & Scientific Figures

Publication-quality figures, maps, and infographics built to journal specifications. I produce plots in R (ggplot2) and refine them in Inkscape or Illustrator — from simple bar charts to complex multi-panel figures, spatial maps, and phylogenetic trees with trait overlays.

Suitable for

Journal submissions, grant reports, conference presentations, public outreach

Deliverables

• Vector and raster figure files (SVG, PDF, TIFF)
• Multi-panel publication figures
• Spatial maps and distribution plots
• Infographics for reports or outreach

Scientific Literature & Technical Reporting

Systematic literature reviews, technical reports, and manuscript support grounded in current research. I can synthesise evidence across a topic, write methods and results sections, and review drafts for scientific accuracy, clarity, and consistency with journal or regulatory requirements.

Suitable for

Academic research, environmental consultancy, NGOs, government agencies

Deliverables

• Structured literature reviews
• Technical and regulatory reports
• Methods and results drafts
• Manuscript review and editing
