I have a strong interest in community ecology, biodiversity and population dynamics of benthic and sea ice-associated fauna. My research also focuses on coupling processes between the benthic, pelagic and sea ice realms in the Arctic through trophic interactions and life cycles. I am also interested in regional and pan-Arctic integration and biophysical linkages.

Research in fish populations, fish communities, and marine food web. I am studying the impacts of global change on marine ecosystems, from fish populations to the food web by combining empirical analysis of scientific surveys, trait and environmental datasets, and modeling tools.
