Assistant Professor
Fascinating nature, my love and me
Chih-hao Hsieh (Zac)
I am interested in statistics/theoretical ecology/zooplankton ecology/biological oceanography/fisheries.
I like simple ideas that have far-reaching implications and applications.
I am open to any cooperation, even beyond aquatic science, even beyond ecology.
