He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Applied Ecology from Michigan Technological University and his Ph.D in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Max has studied grassland and forest bird ecology in Wisconsin as well as worked with large datasets, including eBird, GBIF, and PRISM climate data, to predict changes in avian communities across the continental United States due to climate change. His research interests are in migration ecology, habitat use, and the effects of anthropogenic activity on bird communities.

When he’s not at work, he spends as much time as possible outdoors with his young family.
