Tristan Campbell

Tristan Campbell serves as a Part-Time Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Western Australia, leveraging 15 years of industry experience in geophysics and environmental projects to advance ecological research through data science and remote sensing methodologies.

Education:

• PhD in Applied Physics (awarded October 2020)
• Post-graduate Diploma in Business Administration (awarded July 2011)
• BSc (Hons) in Geophysics (awarded December 2001)

His research critically examines data quality and analytical rigor in ecological science, addressing challenges in extrapolating remote sensing results and mitigating unconscious bias. He specializes in applying machine learning and spatial analysis to ecological restoration projects, particularly in mining-affected biodiversity hotspots, with emphasis on validating raw data before modeling and rigorously testing counter-hypotheses.

Recent publications reveal a concentrated focus on UAV-based monitoring of restoration outcomes, development of ecological restoration standards for mining sites, and computational reproducibility in environmental science. His work integrates geophysics techniques with ecological applications, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary trends across remote sensing, AI, and biodiversity conservation.
