CQS Faculty
Dr. Bruce Bare is the Dean of the College of Forest Resources and the Rachel A. Woods Professor. His research interests involve the use of economic and management science tools to problems of forest land use. These problems operate over various spatial and temporal scales ranging from the stand-and-forest-levels to the multi-forest-level and cover time periods of 1-100 years. Emphasis is on the design and application of modern decision support tools to foster sustainable forest management. Valuing nonmarket-based environmental services produced by forests is an important aspect of this research. Each quarter Dean Bare teaches the internet section of Q Sci 381. bare@u.washington.edu
Dr. David Briggs has been with the College of Forest Resources since 1973. He is currently the Director of the Stand Management and Precision Forestry Cooperatives. His areas of interest include the relationships and connections between silvicultural methods, genetic improvement, wood quality and product value; operations research and management science in the forest products industries emphasizing (1) modeling and optimization of product recovery and (2) on quality management systems; and environmental performance of wood products. Dr. Briggs teaches Q Sci 291. dbriggs@u.washington.edu
Dr. Loveday Conquest is a Professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. She also directs the graduate program in Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management. Her interests are in the development and application of statistical methodologies in natural resource management. Some of her research has included analyses of incidental bird catch data from Puget Sound and Bering Sea fisheries, sampling design for stream networks, and incorporating human judgment into ecological field sampling. Dr. Conquest teaches Q Sci 482. conquest@u.washington.edu
Dr. Tim Essington is an associate professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. His research interest is in quantitative ecology in general and in the analysis of marine food webs in particular. Dr. Essington teaches Q Sci 454, Introduction to Ecological Modeling. essing@u.washington.edu
Dr. Vincent Gallucci is the Director of the Center for Quantitative Science and the Wakefield Professor of Ocean and Fishery Sciences. His research is in apex predators in north Pacific and tropical marine waters. His specialty is in population dynamics and management of sharks and sea lions. Professor Gallucci teaches in the Q Sci calculus sequences—Q Sci 291, 292, and 293 and in the statistics sequence—Q Sci 381, 482, and 480. vgallucc@u.washington.edu
Dr. Frank Greulich is a Professor in the College of Forest Resources. His area of research is in the application of management science and operations research techniques to problems in transportation science. He teaches a variety of courses including some in mathematics, engineering, and management. Dr. Greulich teaches Q Sci 381. greulich@u.washington.edu
Dr. Ray Hilborn is the Richard C. and Lois M. Worthington Professor of Fisheries Management in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. He specializes in natural resource management and conservation. Major areas of current and past research include Bayesian analysis of decision making in natural resources, adaptive management of renewable resources, the dynamics of the Serengeti ecosystem in east Africa, the role of hatcheries in management of Pacific salmon as well as many others. Dr. Hillborn teaches Q Sci 458/Fish 458. rayh@u.washington.edu
Dr. Jay Johnson is a Professor of wood and paper science in the College of Forest Resources. He is interested in mathematical models that capture the essential performance behavior of wood and paper products. Dr. Johnson teaches Q Sci 291 and 292. jjohnson@u.washington.edu
Dr. John Perez-Garcia is on the faculty of the College of Forest Resources with a specialty in forest economics. His interest in statistics is mainly in understanding relationships between two or more variables utilizing regression techniques. Statistical topics range from understanding forest yield curves to price behaviors in product markets to multiple equation models. Dr. Perez-Garcia teaches Q Sci 483. perjohm@u.washington.edu
Dr. André Punt is a Professor with the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. His main research interests are marine population dynamics, stock assessment methods, risk analysis, and harvesting theory. His current research focuses on the performance of stock assessment methods, application of Bayesian approaches in fisheries assessment and decision analysis, and management strategies for fish and marine mammal populations. Dr. Punt teaches Q Sci 381. aepunt@u.washington.edu
Dr. John Skalski is a Professor of biological statistics with appointments in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and the College of Forest Resources. He is also active in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management. His areas of expertise are design and analysis of mark-recapture studies and effects assessment on mobile species. Dr. Skalski teaches Q Sci 480 and 482. jrs@cbr.washington.edu
Dr. Eric Turnblom is a Professor of Forest Biometrics within the College of Forest Resources. His research interests include plant population and systems modeling, quantitative silviculture and stand dynamics, forest mensuration, environmental assessment, natural resources inventory, and sampling. Dr. Turnblom teaches Q Sci 482 and 486. ect@u.washington.edu
Dr. Charles Amundson is a Research Associate in the College of Forest Resources. His current research is to create a simulation that will allow experimentation in paper forming to be shifted off of expensive machine runs and onto cheap computer runs. Dr. Amundson periodically teaches Q Sci courses. chas272@u.washington.edu
