About

I combine ecological and economic theories and methods, big data analytics, and computation to find solutions to fisheries and conservation problems.

Interests
Research
  • I am particularly interested in problems where science and scientific innovations can help overcome bottlenecks to effectively address fisheries and conservation challenges. I am interested in the following topics and methods:
  • Solutions to overfishing and biodiversity loss in the ocean
  • Food and livelihood security of coastal fishing communities
  • Designing network of marine protected areas
  • Impacts of climate change on ocean ecosystem economy (wild fisheries, mariculture, coastal tourism etc.)
  • Use of big data and satellite technologies (e.g. vessel tracking) to inform fisheries management
  • Use of bioeconomic and agent-based modeling to design policies in fisheries
  • Global food systems
  • Solving illegal fishing
