Dr Éva Plagányi-Lloyd is a scientist with the Marine and Atmospheric Research Division of CSIRO in Australia, and an Honorary Research Associate of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, where she lectured for many years in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Her research focuses on the biological modeling of marine and other renewable biological resources, and the application of quantitative approaches to general ecological questions. She has worked on spatial multispecies models that investigate the impact of fishing on other dependent species in the ecosystem, and specifically worked on krill-predator-fishery dynamics in the Scotia Sea. Her research is strongly inter-disciplinary, with extensive crossover between Applied Mathematics and Zoology. In particular, she is extending single-species approaches in population assessments to more complex models of multi-species interactions in marine ecosystems.

Dr. Plagányi-Lloyd has over 10 years experience in the field of quantitative fisheries stock assessment, and she recently received a prestigious South African National Research Foundation President’s Award. She has written over forty peer-reviewed publications and technical reports, and dozens of additional popular articles. In addition, Dr. Plagányi-Lloyd has expressed a keen interest in scientific education and outreach, and mentoring young women in academia.
