معرفی
Dr. Andrew Hoegh is an Associate Professor of Statistics at Montana State University (MSU), affiliated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences within the College of Letters & Science. He leads the Bozeman Environmental and Ecological Statistics (BEES) research group, focusing on Bayesian computation, spatiotemporal modeling, and ecological applications. His work bridges statistical theory and practical problems in environmental science, epidemiology, and sports analytics.
Education: Ph.D. (2016) Virginia Tech; M.S. (2008) Colorado School of Mines; B.A. (2006) Luther College.
Research Interests: Bayesian statistics, statistical ecology, computational methods for complex data, and pathogen dynamics in wildlife. His group addresses challenges like bat ecology, zoonotic spillover, and aquatic invasive species using advanced statistical techniques.
Awards: Kopriva Faculty Lectureship (2021), multiple nominations for research and advising awards, and grants from institutions like Cornell University and the USGS.
Teaching: Courses include Bayesian Statistics, Spatial Data Analysis, and Statistical Computing. Current projects involve bat monitoring, virus spillover modeling, and agent-based movement simulations.
Labs/Groups: BEES group meets biweekly, collaborating with USGS scientists. Active projects include bat acoustic data analysis, zebra mussel detection, and radar-based animal movement tracking.
