Tyler Bonnell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Science. His research focuses on applying data science, machine learning, and agent-based modeling to study behavioral ecology and primatology, particularly the evolution and development of collective behavior in social animals. He investigates how social animals respond to environmental changes, such as landscape and climate shifts, using geospatial and statistical tools. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, bridging computer science and ecology to address questions about group movement, social networks, and disease dynamics.
Research interests include agent-based models for wildlife populations, social network analysis, and the impact of environmental factors on animal behavior. He has contributed to studies on vervet monkeys, beluga whales, and other species, exploring topics like maternal social position effects, disease transmission, and spatial mixing. His lab develops innovative tools to analyze complex ecological systems and advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration.
Publications highlight his focus on statistical methodologies, network analysis, and computational models to understand animal behavior and ecological interactions. While no specific grants or awards are mentioned, his work reflects a commitment to advancing computational methods in ecological research.
