Research
I am at the start of my Ph.D program, so my research interests are still nascent, to say the least, but I will use this page to provide a summary of my projects.
On the ecological side of things, I am primarily interested in using computational and mathematical models to help answer ecological questions. In the past, I have done programming work for disease models, predator-prey models, and food web models, with a focus on complexity, network structure and system modeling at the individual (agent) level. This work as a programmer certainly inform my direction as a researcher in ecology.
I am also interested in related computational research, primarily as a borrower and user of good ideas, particularly simulation algorithms for large individual-based models, both deterministic and stochastic, and visualization techniques. I am also always on the lookout for statistical techniques to more rigorously connect the worlds of computational models, statistical models, and data.
