Kiva Oken (QERM graduate 2016) recently accepted a faculty position at UC Davis in the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, that began this winter quarter (2020). Her quantitative fisheries ecology lab will focus on using “cutting edge mathematical models and statistical tools to study the ecology, conservation, and management of marine fisheries. More specifically, we explore population, food web, and community dynamics in exploited marine ecosystems; evaluate and advance tools for ecosystem-based fisheries management; and develop and test statistical methods in fisheries and ecology.” You can learn more on her website.
