The true logic of this world is in the calculus of probabilities. --- J. C. Maxwell

 

My research interests are to explain the nature of aquatic species and manage them as appropriate as we can in a probabilistic way.  Specifically, I am working on: Population dynamics and stock assessment; Risk analysis; Fisheries management (decision analysis, adaptive management); Fishery ecology; Statistical computing.

 

Applications in models of stock recruitment, statistical catch-at-age, matrix models, generalized linear/additive models, spatial-temporal modeling, hierarchical modeling, measurement error (error-in-variable) models, time series models, multi-species models, Bayesian modeling,  quantitative risk assessment (Monte Carlo, composite, Bayesian, fuzz logic). 

 

Applications in the areas/species of commercial and recreational fish species, species under conservation or invasive

 

Recent focus: spatial-temporal dynamics and its modeling in fisheries; ecosystem  modeling (climate driven population dynamics modeling; quantification of species interaction)
