Dr. Dan Bogan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences at Siena College, where he enjoys integrating his research with teaching undergraduate courses that span Environmental Science, Biodiversity, Urban Wildlife, and Wildlife Conservation, and Applied Wildlife Research. Dan’s research explores the spatial ecology and behavior of wildlife, particularly coyotes and fisher, to understand how animals are responding to suburban and urban development. His applied research seeks to better understand human–wildlife interactions as a means to reduce or prevent conflicts to maintain human valuation of wildlife species. Dan holds a PhD from Cornell University, a MS from SUNY University at Albany, and a BS from SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry.
In his free time, Dan enjoys hiking with his family in the Adirondacks and Rensselaer Plateau and taking his two children fishing during the warm summer months.
