Research

My research at MSU is both related to developing new methodology for State Space Modeling to examine time series ecological data and evaluating how Bythotrephes (a predator), physical factors (i.e., stratification and temperature), and interactive effects affect zooplankton production and vertical position in the Great Lake (I am working with James Bence and Scott Peacor in this project).
