Theses / Collaborations opportunities
Prospected STUDENTS can contact me, asking for - as well as proposing - collaborations. These could include the possibility to:
- perform theses either using available data (I've several interesting data to be analysed and published), without the need of collecting new field data, or new (i.e., to collect) data;
- coauthor a paper.
Candidates with programming (preference for R and C computer languages) and statistical skills will be given priority.
