MISSION
|
|
My research activity is devoted to the study of spatiotemporal dynamics in ecology by means of simple (whenever possible) yet rigorous mathematical models. I am particular interested in the study of the population dynamics of freshwater invasive species and their spread over both hydrological networks and closed water bodies. I have also been working on the formation of vegetation patterns in forest ecosystems, as resulting from seed predation and plant-soil negative feedbacks.
