I am interested in statistical and mathematical analyses of fisheries data. My initial research has focused on scallop fishery catch rates, survey design and stock assessment modelling. I also research crab, lobster, whelk,  groundfish, and coral reef fisheries, as well as impacts of bottom towed gears and offshore wind farm development.
