Michael Neubert graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor’s
degree in applied mathematics and biology, and has been interested in
the intersection between these two fields ever since. After receiving
his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Washington in
1994, he came to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as a
postdoctoral scholar, and is now an Associate Scientist in the Biology
Department and Fellow of the Ocean Life Institute. Most of his research
uses ecological models that include a spatial component. Using spatial
models lets him address important questions in ecology and conservation
biology—questions like: What determines how fast a population spreads
through a habitat into which it is newly introduced? How much habitat
does a population require to persist? or How should one design a system
of preserves to protect an endangered species? When not running
ecological models, Michael is usually running to the nearest coffee
shop.
