Bio/Research
I am an applied evolutionary/theoretical ecologist. My goals are to use the methods and ideas from evolutionary ecologist, in an applied context. My primary applied research is focused on a series of themes; all focused on the general question of making optimal resource management decisions under uncertainty. Each of the themes addresses one particular area of uncertainty: (i) structural (research on modeling population dynamics), (ii) observation (research on estimation of model parameters), (iii) controllability (estimation on harvest management of structured populations, from both technical and human dimensions perspective), and (iv) optimal decision theory for state-dependent management strategies. His conceptual research is directed at 2 primary questions: (i) assessment of methods for direct and indirect assessment of spatial structuring and coupling in populations, and (ii) analysis of evidence for phenotypic life-history trade-offs, using advanced statistical methodologies.
