Biography

Lisanne is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Quantitative Conservation Lab at the University of Washington. Her current work includes building integrated population models for wolves and optimizing monitoring strategies for tufted puffin.. Lisanne's research interests relate broadly to mammal spatial ecology at the human-wildlife interface, and more specifically to the development of novel quantitative approaches to guide species management.
