Education

M.Sc. Physical Oceanography, Memorial University of Newfoundland 2005; M.A. Mathematics, University of Rochester 2002

Description

I manage Dr. Andrew Pershing's Ecosystem Modeling Lab, located at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland.  For more details, see our website.  I'm also working part time on a Ph.D. on computational ecology of planktonic biodiversity.

Research interests

  • Computational ecology (machine learning, biological-physical interactions, forecasting)
  • Biodiversity
  • Ocean photogrammetry, image processing
