I coordinate BioSS research in Process and systems modelling which aims to understand emergent properties of key systems using dynamic process-based models developed in close collaboration with biological scientists, and in tandem to develop related, but generic, modelling methodology.
My recent work includes development of novel moment-closures for populations close to extinction, and theoretical treatments of applications such as foraging behaviour, the impact of social hierarchy on disease persistence, and the response of species range-boundaries to spatio-temporal environmental gradients.
I am also interested in developing statistically sound approaches to parameter inference in dynamic and spatio-temporal stochastic models applied to: demography and disease in livestock and wildlife populations; agent-based systems; epidemics in homogeneous and heterogeneous crop systems; and the spread of invasive alien species.
