The TSE Group was established in 2021 by Dr Rafael de Andrade Moral. We are interested in studying problems in mathematics and statistics with applications in ecology . Grounding ecology in a theoretical framework and assessing how this theory holds up empirically is vital. This does not mean one builds it from the ground up. By using an interdisciplinary approach, combining mathematical and statistical ideas that have been studied for decades, we want to use these ideas alongside laboratory or field research to further our understanding of the natural world.
