Research Description

Dr. Ludwig's research is in the areas of oyster reef restoration, population ecology, and biology and innovation education. Applications of her research include design of oyster habitat, restoring effective dung beetle communities, and re-designing bear collars to collect “fit-bit” like data. She is developing skills in social network analysis and qualitative data analysis to complement her formal training in Fisherian and Bayesian statistics.
