Iulian Gherghel

I am a PhD Student in the Department of Biology at Case Western Reserve University. I am a trained ecologist and herpetologist, with research interests in amphibian and reptile diversity, community ecology, and I have a strong statistical background. In the past 10 years I worked in Eastern Europe, Northern Africa, and North America studying the field factors that influence amphibian and reptile distributions at multiple scales using field observations, and geographical information systems (GIS). So far, I have authored or coauthored over 50 publications on amphibian and reptile distributions, ecology, and conservation in international and national herpetology, ecology and zoology journals. I also routinely attend scientific conferences (nearly 30 presentations to date), where I present my findings and establish connections with my peers in the field.
