معرفی
Tin Klanjšček is the Head of the Laboratory for Informatics and Environmental Modelling at the Division for Marine and Environmental Research, Ruđer Bošković Institute (Zagreb, Croatia). He holds a Ph.D. in Biological Oceanography from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Massachusetts Institute of Technology joint program, where he developed expertise in Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory applied to mariculture optimization and pollution impacts. His earlier education includes an engineering degree in physics from the University of Zagreb.
His research integrates mathematical modeling with environmental science, focusing on:
- Dynamic Energy Budgets to analyze organismal growth under environmental stressors.
- Aquaculture sustainability, including fish nutrition, climate adaptation, and disease management.
- Ecological risk assessment of pollutants (e.g., nanomaterials, plastics) and invasive species.
- Marine conservation, particularly for endangered species like loggerhead turtles and bivalves.
Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal a strong emphasis on mechanistic modeling of climate change impacts in aquaculture, Vibrio dynamics as water quality indicators, and meta-research on ecological methodology. Work consistently applies DEB theory to practical challenges like optimizing fish diets, predicting pathogen outbreaks, and reducing research inefficiencies.
He leads interdisciplinary projects such as PerfeCt (aquaculture climate resilience) and collaborates globally on metabolic theory. His laboratory develops tools for environmental data analysis and ecological forecasting.
