Chris M. Jones

I am a postdoctoral research scholar at NC State in Ross Meentemeyer's Landscape Dynamics group. I develop flexible spatial-temporal models of pest and pathogen spread in forest and agricultural ecosystems. The goal is to understand both the process and the pattern of pest and pathogen invasion. Another facet of my research is understanding interactions between disturbances.
 
I’m also interested in how modeling can be used across a wide variety of ecological systems. I am particularly interested in making landscape level simulations faster and more user-friendly. Current areas of interest are CPU parallelization, GPU parallelization, open science, and user-friendly GUIs.
