Wildlife Ecologist

Taylor Azizeh

Ph.D. Fellow at Oregon State University studying the ecology, energetics, movement, and conservation of marine megafauna through field research, biologging, photogrammetry, and quantitative ecology.

Connecting bioenergetics to marine ecosystem change

My research focuses on how marine predators respond to environmental variability, energetic constraints, and human impacts.

I combine field observations, aerial photogrammetry, biologging, stable isotopes, movement data, and statistical modeling to study whales, penguins, and other marine wildlife.
