Richard Wong

I'm completing a Ph.D. in Ecology at Duke University, using quantitative analysis to study environmental change, species traits, and ecological dynamics.

My published work includes research on sediment selection and burrowing performance in range-expanding fiddler crabs, as well as litter flammability in fire-adapted longleaf pine savanna.

I've also contributed to research on shifting bottom-up and top-down control in aquatic food webs under rising temperatures. My work draws on advanced R, Python, SQL, statistics, community modeling, and data visualization.

Alongside research, I've led undergraduate Data Expeditions focused on data collection, interpretation, visualization, GLMs, binomial regressions, ANOVAs, and model selection in R.
