Biography
Dr Éva Plagányi leads research on the development of models to support the sustainable management of marine systems. She maintains an international reputation in stock assessment modelling, ecosystem modelling and management strategy evaluation (MSE).
Her research interests centre on the biological modelling of marine and other renewable biological resources, and on the application of quantitative approaches to addressing general ecological questions. Her research is strongly inter-disciplinary, with extensive cross-over between Applied Mathematics and Ecology. She has 15 years experience in the field of quantitative fisheries stock assessment, where her work focuses on developing an ecosystem approach to fisheries that ensures the sustainability and welfare of the entire ecosystem impacted by fishing activities.
