Research Intern; UBC Forest Resources Management Department, FRESH Lab
For my final co-op work term, I joined the FRESH lab in the Forest Resources Management department at UBC as a research intern. I am involved in two projects as part of my internship. One of my current projects involves working with a Master’s student to create a raster-based model in R that predicts Hemlock dwarf mistletoe spread at a stand level.
My other project involves performing statistical testing and analysis using R and collaborating on a forest biometrics paper. Working as a research intern here has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of technical skills including R programming, statistical analysis and data interpretation.
Working on different projects has also helped me practice transferable skills like communication and time management.
