Thomas L.P. Martin, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the lab. I hold a PhD in mathematical modeling of biological systems (HK Baptist University), with a thesis focused on modeling the immune system and gut microbial communities. My current work investigates the population dynamics of group-living species, with a particular interest in incorporating local-scale group structures, such as Allee effects or increased stochastic impacts in small populations, and analyzing their consequences on global population dynamics. The models are initially being tested on a population of alpine marmots, with the aim of generalizing the approach to other group-living species.
