Jorge Mestre-Tomás
I am a PhD student in Statistics and Optimization at the Universitat Politècnica de València. My primary research interest is in applied Bayesian statistics within the field of marine ecology, focusing on spatio-temporal modeling and compositional data analysis.
Currently, I am involved in the ProOceans project, where I am developing GLOSSA, an interactive tool to simplify species distribution modeling for non-coders, aiming to advance our understanding of marine ecosystems under global change. In addition to GLOSSA, I am examining global fishing data to uncover trends in catch composition that may signal underlying environmental and economic shifts impacting marine ecosystems worldwide.
