Research
I am interested in using mathematical models to better understand complex marine ecosystems. My expertise lies in developing quantitative models of microbial cells that can accurately predict and explain biological, ecological, and biogeochemical phenomenon. I use variety of data sources, including field observations and experimental data, to parameterize and validate my models.
