Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristina Hernandez is an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Biology with eight years of experience applying mathematical and empirical approaches to population ecology, especially early life history of fishes. Trained at MIT and Woods Hole, she blends individual-based and matrix population models with shipboard sampling and larval otolith analysis to link reproductive and early-life processes to population-level outcomes like extinction risk and resilience. As a Marie Curie postdoc at Oxford she developed novel tools to probe density dependence and non-linearities in demographic dynamics, and she now teaches modeling, ichthyology, and population ecology while continuing theoretical and comparative research. Christina’s work uniquely pairs hands-on field expertise with advanced simulation and analytical methods, and she’s particularly focused on spawning migrations, maternal effects, and the evolution of complex traits such as anadromy.
