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

Research Interests
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
Designing networks 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
Food and livelihood security of coastal fishing communities
Global food systems
Solving illegal fishing
