Waxx' research sits at the intersection of conservation, spatial ecology, and geospatial technology. His work is driven by a central question: how can we better understand and ultimately resolve the growing tensions between human communities and wildlife populations? To address this, he employs multi-geospatial analysis, integrating diverse spatial datasets to map and model human–wildlife conflicts across complex landscapes. At the core of Waxx' scientific philosophy is a commitment to understanding connectedness: the intricate relationships that bind landscapes, wildlife, and people into a single interdependent system. He views conservation challenges not as isolated problems, but as emergent properties of these interwoven dynamics. Through geospatial modeling, he seeks to translate this complexity into actionable insight, helping decision-makers design interventions that protect biodiversity while supporting the livelihoods and safety of local communities.
