Tommaso Cancellario

Biodiversity Data Analyst & Team Lead

About me

I'm an ecologist passionate about understanding biodiversity through big data, spatial ecology, and ecological modeling. My work focuses on uncovering patterns in species distribution and ecosystem responses to global change, integrating taxonomy, traits, and genetics. I lead a multidisciplinary team as Head of the Data Management and Analysis Unit, where I drive innovation in ecological research through software development, data infrastructure, and collaborative workflows. Committed to open science, I develop tools in R and Python to make research more efficient, accessible, and impactful.

Work Experience

2023 - Present
UIB

Postdoc - Head of the Data Management and Analysis Unit

University of the Balearic Islands, Palma, Spain

  • I lead scientific research in functional ecology, biodiversity big-data analysis, spatial modeling, and the assessment of biodiversity knowledge gaps. I design and manage the development of Balearica, the biodiversity data platform for the Balearic Islands, which integrates and visualizes regional biodiversity information. I develop biodumpy, a Python package for processing biodiversity data, and serve as the conceptual designer of specifind, an AI-based Python tool for AI tool for species and occurrence search.
  • Relevant project: High-resolution climate change information of Balearic Islands for multidisciplinary applications.

2015 (May - Sept)
UNIPR

Laboratory Assistant

University of Parma, Parma, Italy

  • During this period, I worked with macroinvertebrate communities in Northern Italy, collecting samples to assess the ecological status of the Oglio River and to study the relationship between changes in these communities and the ecological minimum flow.
