Biography

I am a mathematical modeller at BioSS and work on developing process-based models of biological systems. Recently my research has focussed on two main topics - microbial communities (e.g. in the human colon, the rumen and for waste treatment (anaerobic digestion)) and crop pests (e.g. PCN on potatoes and hoppers on rice). Details of these and the associated papers and software (R packages), are on my web page.
