Research Interests

I am interested in modelling higher trophic levels (fish, macroinvertebrates and sharks) and how they interact with the environment. I use, among other tools, the multi-species model OSMOSE one-way coupled to biogeochemical models to study the Humboldt Current System and the Western Baltic Sea.
