Great Lakes Analytics Conference :: Dan Graf

Dan Graf Associate Professor of Biology | University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Big Data and Biodiversity Research: An Example from the MUSSEL Project Database The MUSSEL Project Database (MUSSELpdb) provides a useful interface between the centuries of specimen and bibliographic data accumulated by people and the power of machines to manage, synthesize, and analyze those data. This talk will explore the impact of the MUSSELpdb on our understanding of the evolution and biodiversity of freshwater mussels, an interesting and highly imperiled group of aquatic invertebrates. Attendees will learn to understand the types and sources of data that are utilized in biodiversity research; recognize how a well-normalized database can organize data for people and machines; and identify resources available to organize and analyze biodiversity data. Dan Graf has degrees from the University of Minnesota, Northeastern University, and the University of Michigan and served as curator of mollusks at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. In 2012, he joined the faculty of the Department of Biology at UW-Stevens Point.
