Human behavioral ecology, marine ecology, cognitive sciences, decision making under uncertainty
My broad research interests are in human-environmental interactions and land-use change. Specifically, I am interested in how people make land-use decisions, how those decisions modify the functioning of natural systems, and how those modifications feedback on human well-being, livelihoods, and subsequent land-use decisions. All of my research begins with a complex systems background with the aim of understanding the dynamics of human-environment interactions and their consequences for environmental and economic sustainability. Agent-based modeling is my primary tool of choice to understand human-environment interactions, but I also frequently use other land change modeling approaches (e.g., cellular automata, system dynamics, econometrics), spatial statistics, and GIS. I also have expertise in synthesis methods (e.g., meta-analysis) for bringing together leveraging disparate forms of social and environmental data to understand how specific cases (i.e., local) of land-use change contribute to and/or differ from broader-scale (i.e. regional or global) patterns of human-environment interactions and land change outcomes.
Simulation of emergent behavior systems and metrics associated with the detection and characterization of emergent phenomena.
disaster resilience, flooding, ecosystem services, coupled human natural systems, land use change, hydrology, remote sensing, complexity science
I use agent-based systems, stochastic process, mass balance models and computational statistics in exploring human exposure assessment.
have a special interest in food security, agriculture, climate change, and human - ecosystem interactions. My PhD research focused on developing site-specific strategies for enhancing food production by linking process-based models and empirical models with crop production drivers in Kenya. I am advancing the ideas from my doctorate research to exploring the potential of process-based models coupled with climate data and human decisions at agricultural landscapes for food systems analysis
Interested in IWRM approach, analyzing coupled human-water relationship, Hydrological modelling, Bayesian networks, Agent based modelling
