Overview
Hi I'm Nick! I'm currently a Marine Science and Conservation PhD student in the Duke Nicholas School of the Environment. I'm advised by Dr Douglas Nowacek of the Bioacoustics and Engineering Lab at Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort, North Carolina. I was previously an undergraduate at Duke University (Class of 2023) where I majored in biology and minored in environmental science.
I'm interested in marine mammal bio-acoustics and conservation, of which I've worked on a variety of species including: North Atlantic right whales, goose-beaked whales, Florida manatees, short-finned pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, and false killer whales. More broadly, I'm interested in bioacoustics, ecology, and animal behavior.
I'm a former Rachel Carson Scholar at Duke university and worked collaboratively with the Duke Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab, Bioacoustics and Engineering Lab, and Mote Marine Laboratory on an undergraduate thesis "Behavioral impacts of extended viewership on Florida manatees (T. m. latirostris) by ecotourist watercraft".
Asides from my obsession with marine mammals, I love the outdoors and you'll probably catch me outside taking pictures of birds or other small critters. I am an avid sports fan and keep up with basketball, football, and soccer.
