Gabriel M. Barrile

Gabriel M. Barrile is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming's Department of Zoology and Physiology, with a joint appointment in the School of Computing. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology (2021) and a B.S. in Environmental Biology (2013), both from the University of Wyoming and Bloomsburg University respectively. His research focuses on behavioral ecology, population demography, host-pathogen dynamics, disturbance ecology, spatial analysis, and machine learning applications in ecological systems. Recent work examines disease impacts on wildlife movement, wildfire effects on amphibians, and data-driven approaches to ecological forecasting. His teaching portfolio includes courses on population ecology, conservation biology, and data science.

• Education: Ph.D., Ecology (University of Wyoming, 2021); B.S., Environmental Biology (Bloomsburg University, 2013)

Dr. Barrile's research integrates field studies with computational methods to address pressing ecological questions, such as how environmental disturbances and pathogens shape animal behavior and population dynamics. His 2023 paper on big data modeling for predicting wildlife disease outbreaks demonstrates his expertise in interdisciplinary methods. He has also contributed to studies on mule deer behavior, trout stocking efficacy, and departmental climate surveys to enhance academic equity.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided text. His advising and grants section remains unspecified, though active research collaborations are evident through co-authorships.
