Mathematical Models for Ecology and Evolution

With my research group, I study the dynamics of biological populations in space and time. I use mathematical modelling, dynamical systems analysis, and computational tools to answer questions about population patterns such as extinction, spatial spread and stability, and about population dynamics responses to external forcing such as habitat fragmentation and global change.
