Marine Randon, PhD

I have always been passionate by marine science and ecology. That is why I completed a Master degree in marine ecology and fisheries science. Then, I carried on with a Ph.D in marine ecology, working on the population structure and connectivity of a flatfish species in the English Channel. As a postdoctoral fellow, I worked on a forecasting system for the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) of the Salish Sea, Canada. 

I would define my research at the interface between statistics and marine ecology.
