RESEARCH INTERESTS & BACKGROUND:M.S. Thesis title: Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake: Ohio Population Survey and Survey Technique Development
M.S. Thesis description: Evan's M.S. thesis, supported by The Ohio Department of Transportation, is to modify and test a camera trapping technique as a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative survey method for the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake in northern Ohio.
Bio: Evan obtained his BS Biology, with Summa Cum Laude distinction, from SUNY Binghamton in December 2014. After a year in the molecular phylogenetics world at UNC-Chapel Hill, he entered the field of conservation biology and herpetology through the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. In 2016, he spent a summer as a field technician working with Ohio Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes, followed by six months as part of a King Cobra spatial ecology project in Thailand. Since returning to the States in 2017, Evan contributed to several papers from his time in SE Asia, published an article on noise pollution, and assisted in grant writing for Namibian Rhino conservation through WildTrack. While his academic interests are in spatial ecology, behavioral biology and applied management research, after graduate school Evan aims to start a career in conservation program management, administration and development for government agencies or NGOs.
