Dr. Jani Tanzil
Senior Research Fellow
Education:
Dec 2013: PhD in Computational Science, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands “Environmental controls of coral growth: data driven multi-scale analyses of rates and patterns of growth of massive Porites corals around the Thai-Malay Peninsula”
Sep 2007: MSc. Tropical Coastal Management (Distinction), Newcastle University, United Kingdom.
Nov 2003: BSc. Biology, National University of Singapore
Research Interests:
- Understanding effects of environmental changes on corals and coral reef systems using data-driven approaches
- Developing locally-relevant response models for corals
- Coral geochemistry to reconstruct past coral condition/reef environment
- Nature and causes of coral skeletal luminescent and density banding patterns
- Resilience and connectivity within socio-ecological systems
