Predicting how ephemeral, highly variable interactions at the level of individuals drive dynamics at the scale of populations presents a fundametal challenge to population biology. Currently, we apply a statistical-physics framework to model the initial growth and subsequent spatial advance of ecological invders, to predict how local processes influence pattern at extended scales. I collaborate with Dr. Gyorgy Korniss, Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
