A warm welcome to Žarko Kovač who recently joined the Sathyendranath Group.
by Helen Hill for CBIOMES
Žarko Kovač, an Assistant Professor at the University of Split, Croatia, and a longtime collaborator with Shubha Sathyendranath and her team. With a background in physics and dynamical systems, Žarko’s primary interests are bio-optical modeling of primary production and bio-physical interactions in the ocean, focusing on the photosynthesis-light relationship. In his research, he seeks to apply dynamical systems theory to further develop primary production models with a special focus on the role of light. Broader interests include mathematical physics, sustainable development, ecosystem dynamics, and ecological modeling. As a member of CBIOMES Žarko is looking forward to working on the development of theoretical primary production models.
Žarko holds a BS in Physics, an MS in Physics/ Dynamical Systems, and a PhD in Oceanography.
