Areas of Interest
Diego is a Uruguayan 5th year PhD candidate and a NASA FINESST Future Investigator. Working at the intersection of spatial ecology, conservation, animal movement he researches how animals navigate across the world under increasing human threats and a rapidly changing climate. In addition, he is increasingly interested in how our access to biodiversity data is shaped by socioeconomics. Diego received the Sidnie Manton award--best review study in the Journal of Animal Ecology-- of 2022 for his work on studying the ecosystem services provided by animals on the move and the Public Scholar Award of 2023 by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University for his research shaping public discourse and activism.
