Summary

Anthony is a US Army Veteran studying Behavioral and Sensory Ecology. He explores the way that animals sense the world and change their behavior in response to what they sense. How they behave can alter the landscape around them in mathematically predictable ways. He wishes to learn more about the influence of those factors that are artificially introduced, and his current research is exploring changes in the brain and its cognition in response to Artificial Light at Night (ALAN). In the long run, he's interested in the development of adaptive algorithms for predicting the behavioral consequences of anthropogenic change and influence based on sensory modalities and common neuromechanics. He works with animals of all sorts, but preferentially studies Canids and Felids, wild and domestic, given the chance. He likes walking around the mountains, tracking and observing animals with his dog, for science.
