Research Interests
The advancement of Individual-Based Models (IBM’s) in particular allows the adaptive features of an individual to be included in the model, increasing its reliability and robustness. The benefits of modelling can be extended to ecotoxicology as many chronic effect experiments can be time consuming, and a reliable model based upon the correct underlying mechanisms can be reasonably accurate in predicting the effects of toxins upon population dynamics. My work focuses upon the Zebrafish (Danio rerio) due to its increasing importance as a model organism, and the abundance of laboratory data to support the formation of population models. This will be supported by laboratory-based work in Exeter, as well as a number of mesocosm studies in Bangladesh to clarify the parameter inputs into the model.The aim of my project is to investigate the dynamics of zebrafish populations under highly controlled and semi-natural conditions, using a combination of long-term experiments and mathematical population modelling.
My PhD research is jointly supervised by Dr Kai Lorenzen (Imperial), Prof Charles Tyler (Exeter) and Dr Pernille Thorbek (Syngenta). It is funded by a BBSRC CASE Award.
