Evan Sidrow has made important contributions in the development of statistical methodology involving complex hidden Markov models and applications to the analysis of animal movement. His PhD co-supervisors are Marie Auger-Methe and Nancy Heckman. Evan has been involved in Animal Movement Reading Group and the Statistical Ecology Research Group.

Some of the research involves using stochastic algorithms for complex likelihoods. Evan has worked extremely independently, and has skills in modelling, computation, data analysis and interpretation, as well as theoretical work. Evan has one published paper on statistical methodology and other manuscripts being written on methodology or on animal behaviour.
