Daniel Falster is an Associate Professor in the School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia. He has a strong background in using mathematics and computer models alongside large datasets to understand ecosystem dynamics. His research interests include understanding and predicting the distribution of plant types across the Australian continent through the use of eco-evolutionary models, as well as the development of size-structured community theory models. He has been involved in assembling AusTraits, a continental database of traits for Australian plant species, and studying the impacts of climate and human management on vegetation. In addition to his research, Dr. Falster is passionate about teaching and supervises students applying size-structured population models to various systems, including fish and kangaroos. He convenes a core second-year course, BEES2041 - Data Analysis in Life and Earth Science, where students develop core skills in statistical analysis and data communication using real-world examples from the biological, earth, and environmental sciences. He also offers an Intermediate R course for higher degree research students focused on project organization and reproducible research practices.
