The DIMMS Lab welcomed Sherif Shuaib, PhD candidate at York University, on October 17, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. The in-person seminar took place in Ross Building, Room N638, with coffee and snacks for everyone who came.
Sherif presented “A mechanistic stage-structured model for estimating maturation, mortality, and recruitment parameters of three economically significant fish species in Canadian waters”.
The study analyzes discrete-time, stage-structured models to estimate key life-history parameters for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), capelin (Mallotus villosus) and cod (Gadus morhua). It examines the well-posedness of the model, the net reproductive number and the global stability of equilibria, and draws out what these mean for fisheries management.
His research interests include mathematical biology, data analytics and population dynamics.
