Rebecca B. Cooper is a postdoctoral researcher based at the NHM and PHAB using deep learning methods and simulation to study speciation and extinction dynamics in the fossil record. She works with empirical systems ranging from the marine benthos to dinosaurs. Rebecca likes to go hiking with a good book in her spare time.
Nicole Obren is a PhD candidate at PHAB and will use time series inference frameworks to draw inferences from paleontological and geological data. Nicole is from the Bay of Islands in New Zealand and loves spending time on or in the ocean. When she occasionally makes landfall, she enjoys a strong coffee and a book, a hike through any kind of wilderness, or just boogying down to some good music.
Dr Trond Reitan is a senior scientist and our resident statistician. He is currently working on occupancy models and time series analyses using linear SDEs. Trond is trained as a physicist.
Mali H. Ramsfjell is a biologist and research technician who is interested in bryozoans, insects, conservation biology and environmental issues in Norway and globally. She is the current master of our desktop Scanning Electron Microscope with more than 20 000 bryozoan images under her belt.
