Erin L Landguth, PhD
Co-Director, Computational Ecology Lab Co-Director, Data & Modeling Core, Center for Population Health Research Professor, School of Public and Community Health Sciences, University of Montana Email: [email protected] Office: 303A Health Sciences, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula, MT My research focus is in Computational Landscape Ecology: Developing, optimizing, and applying simulation programs for understanding relationships between biological processes and population patterns across landscapes. I am also pursuing work to improve air pollution exposure models and the modeling of factors that influence respiratory health, specifically for rural populations like Montana. |

Allen Warren
Senior Software and Systems Engineer, School of Public and Community Health Sciences and Center for Population Health Research Email: [email protected] Office: 210 Skaggs, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula MT I work on a range of both hardware and software development tasks, data assimilation, processing and analyses. I have designed, built, and maintained all of CEL's HPC servers, as well as many other labs on campus including the UM Griz HPC (ICARE NSF funded). I work with 'big data' in both space and time on a daily basis through designing and coding of open source web interactive map servers and distribution real-time climate and satellite data utilizing a range of Opensource libraries and APIs. |

Alan Swanson
Research Analyst and Data Scientist, School of Public and Community Health Sciences and Center for Population Health Research Email: [email protected] Office: 214 Skaggs, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula MT I work with data and modeling from a range of disciplines, including public health and epidemiology, ecology, remote sensing and forest ecology. I process, model and analyze remotely sensed data through Google Earth Engine, and apply spatial and spatio-temporal statistical modeling through various algorithms. |

Ava Orr, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Public and Community Health Sciences and Center for Population Health Research. Email: [email protected] Office: 214 Skaggs, 32 Campus Drive, Missoula MT My research is to understand the connection between the delayed effects of wildfire PM2.5 on subsequent influenza seasons. I enjoy spending time with my corgi, Edith, attempting to wrangle 100,000+ bees, and perfecting the art of pie for the county fair entry. |

Marcel Kouete, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Public and Community Health Sciences Marcel studies wildlife diseases using an interdisciplinary approach to understand pathogen spread and prevalence across landscapes. His research combines field observations and lab experiments to disentangle the complex effects of hosts, pathogens, and environmental factors in an ever-changing world. He seeks to merge empirical data with theoretical models to understand species adaptation, ultimately informing conservation strategies and contributing to human well-being. |

Dominique Alò, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Public and Community Health Sciences I am a biologist interested in understanding and modeling the complexity of life in its diverse forms. My current project integrates eco-evolutionary simulations to explore the mechanisms that shape the distribution and life histories of endangered and invasive freshwater fish species across space and time. Ultimately, my goal is to predict the effects of global environmental changes on biodiversity and apply the acquired knowledge to management and conservation issues. |
