RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in fisheries population dynamics and specialize in movement ecology, reproductive biology, and behavior of marine and estuarine organisms. I use acoustic telemetry, fisheries surveys, field and lab studies, and modelling to describe population dynamics and ecological connections.
