Ian Taylor



 

I'm a research associate (postdoc) at the National Marine Fisheries Service Northwest Fisheries Science Center working with Rick Methot and André Punt on projects related to Rick Methot's Stock Synthesis modeling platform.

In the Spring of 2008 I finished my Ph.D. in University of Washington's Graduate Program in Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management. While a graduate student I was part of Vince Gallucci's Shark Research Lab in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences where I studied the impacts of elasmobranch fisheries, focussing on modeling the population dynamics of the spiny dogfish off the West Coast of the US and Canada. My dissertation is available for download from http://wiki.cbr.washington.edu/qerm/index.php/Theses_and_Dissertations/.
