| Current research | I currently have two main areas of research interest in the rapidly expanding fields of Mathematical Biology and Ecology:
1. Behavioural Ecology: modelling the behaviour, movement and dispersal of animals, micro-organisms and cells;
2. Population Ecology: mathematical analysis and simulation of the population dynamics and optimal management strategies of fisheries and marine ecosystems.
I am linked with the Department of Biological Sciences and work closely with the Algae and Grazers Research Group and the Coral Reef Research Unit (CRRU). |
