Project Title: How animal metabolism shapes isotopic signatures of trophic dynamics
Chris Remien (Ph.D. Mathematics, Univ. of Utah, 2012) develops dynamic mathematical models to understand the role of diet and metabolism on stable isotope ratios of animal tissues. Upon completing his fellowship, Dr. Remien accepted a position as assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Idaho.
LiveScience Profile Q&A with Dr. Remien: The art of mathematical modeling
