In my PhD studies I focus on the uncertainty principles within the dark diversity and functional diversity paradigms. My deeper interest in statistical modelling, simulation experiments and novel visualisation techniques originates from a background spanning both biology and data science. Since I have also spent a few years working as a machine learning engineer in the domain of satellite remote sensing, I also happen to have a sympathy towards deep neural networks, software design and cloud computing. My PhD supervisors are Meelis P\u00e4rtel and Carlos Carmona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-mail wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"mailto:karl.hendrik.tamkivi@ut.ee@ut.ee\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19,5H5c-1.1,0-2,.9-2,2v10c0,1.1.9,2,2,2h14c1.1,0,2-.9,2-2V7c0-1.1-.9-2-2-2zm.5,12c0,.3-.2.5-.5.5H5c-.3,0-.5-.2-.5-.5V9.8l7.5,5.6,7.5-5.6V17zm0-9.1L12,13.6,4.5,7.9V7c0-.3.2-.5.5-.5h14c.3,0,.5.2.5.5v.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2993,"template":"","class_list":["post-2992","our-people","type-our-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/macroecology.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/our-people\/2992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/macroecology.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/our-people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/macroecology.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/our-people"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/macroecology.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/macroecology.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
