Research interests

My background is in Quantum Field Theory, String Theory, Integrable Systems and Quantum Groups. My current research is in transferring some of the methods of these fields to theoretical ecology and mathematical biology.

Two concrete current research topics are:

  • Scale invariant size spectrum models of the pelagic ecosystem.
  • Modelling extinction trajectories in microcosm communities.

I also have a wider interest in stochastic processes and complex networks.

Ph.D. students

  • Samik Datta: "Dynamics of size spectra in marine ecosystems". A NERC-funded studentship. CASE partner CEFAS. Started December 2007. Co-supervised with Richard Law.

Past Ph.D. students: Chris Gardner (Quantum Lie Algebras and their Real Forms), Brett Gibson (Boundary States in Low Rank ATFTs on the Half-Line), Alan George (Exactly Solvable Field Theories with Boundaries).
