David C. Elzinga

I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Tennessee working in the intersection of mathematical modeling, statistics, data science, and biology. 

My work has spanned conservation ecology, plant biology, natural resource management, agriculture, disease prediction, cardiology, animal behavior, and evolution - but this list is constantly growing! I love exploring new applications and methodologies, so if something sparks your interest, let's connect!
