BIO
Asta Audzijonyte is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. She has an interdisciplinary research background in evolutionary biology, fisheries analyses, ecological modelling, molecular ecology and machine learning. Her current research focuses on understanding how human impacts (fishing and climate change) are changing fish sizes in marine ecosystems, how to detect these changes using diverse data sources (including citizen science, smart phone apps and machine learning), what it means for fisheries productivity and marine ecosystems and what can be done about it.
Asta worked at different research institutions around the world (University of Helsinki in Finland, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California, USA, CSIRO in Hobart, Australia and Nature Research Centre in Lithuania). She joined IMAS in 2017.
In March 2020 Asta was awarded a Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation.
Asta is also a coordinator of Master (S7Z) and Graduate Diploma (S6Z) of Marine and Antarctic Science.
