Michael Egan's past research has focused mainly on spatial and movement ecology with a particular emphasis on modeling the spatial distribution of animal behavior and answering questions related to predator-prey interactions and disease risk. He received his bachelor鈥檚 from Ohio State University, master鈥檚 from Purdue University, and PhD from Southern Illinois University where his research focused on capturing and GPS collaring white-tailed deer and common predators such as coyotes and bobcats. Most recently, he has worked on projects with the USDA developing spatial models of deer-to-deer encounter probability using data from a national scale deer monitoring project and worked with the Illinois DNR to improve population reconstruction models to estimate deer populations from harvest data. Currently, his work focuses on applying human mobility data to wildlife research, specifically focusing on the relationship between humans and elk.
