Harshana Rajakaruna
Postdoctoral Associate, Microbiology Department Harshana is interested in backward engineering problems in planktonic ecosystems. He has solved estimation issues in stock assessment models, and has experience modeling diversity and risks associated with marine zooplankton colonization of the global ocean. His current work centers on modeling systems undergoing stochastic processes using stochastic differential equations. He wishes to understand dynamical trade-offs among planktonic groups subjected to physical aquatic forces. |
