Research Interests
I am a fisheries scientist with a broad focus on quantitative fisheries, stock assessment, fisheries management, and marine ecosystem dynamics, as well as their implications for Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management (EBFM) and socioeconomics. My research aims to understand how we can manage fisheries and marine ecosystems under growing anthropogenic activities, changing environments, and food security risks to meet ecological and socioeconomic sustainability targets. I study stock assessment, fisheries modeling, population dynamics, Management Strategy Evaluation, fisheries oceanography, survey evaluation, and marine conservation with statistical and simulation approaches, as well as interdisciplinary socio-economic frameworks and policy analysis.
My research topics include stock assessment, offshore wind and fisheries, data-limited methods, management strategy evaluation, simulation modeling, management policy, handling of survey and large datasets, Ecosystem-based fisheries management, marine conservation, and international fisheries.
