Biography

Emilius Aalto is a Basic Life Science Research Scientist at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station. Having earned his PhD in Ecology from the University of California, Davis in 2013 and a Master of Arts in Ecology from Stony Brook University in 2005, he has a robust academic background in ecological studies. His primary research interest revolves around theoretical fisheries ecology, where he focuses on population dynamics and spatial dynamics, especially in response to diseases and catastrophic events. His current research involves modeling the effects of ocean acidification and low-oxygen events on the growth and reproduction of abalone. Additionally, his past projects have explored indirect positive effects stemming from fishing-induced competitive release, size-specific obligate predation, and post-harvest recovery time. Emilius's work aims to advance the understanding of ecological interactions in marine environments, contributing valuable insights to the field of ecology.
