Research
I use statistical and mathematical models to study ecological impacts of climate change to improve our understanding and management of marine ecosystems.
Specifically, my research focuses mainly on:
- Impacts of climate change on species distributions
- Climate effects on the growth, body size and size-structure of fishes
- Spatiotemporal modelling of ecological processes
- Dynamics and structure of size-based food webs using process-based modelling (for this line of research, I’m also involved in the FishMIP)
