Iman Pakzad was awarded 2nd place Best Student Presentation Award, Virginia Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, 2025.

Newly funded project on seabird bycatch in NorthEast US fisheries

A new 4-year project funded to work on seabird-fisheries interaction assessment. I’m recruiting a new Ph.D. student and a postdoc to work on this project.

New S-K project on striped bas spatial stock assessment

A new S-K project funded to work on striped bas spatial stock assessment. I’m recruiting a new Ph.D. student to work on this project.

Our NSF-NRI proposal is funded!

Collaborative Research: NRI: Ocean-Powered Robots for Autonomous Offshore Aquaculture.  Looking forward to working with Lei and Yaling! and I’m recruiting a graduate student for this project.
