My name is Jonathan Sweeney. I am economist interested in developing machine learning and Bayesian models that improve resource allocation and decision making. Currently I work as a Research Economist at NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center applying these methods to questions about climate change and marine resource managment. Prior to this I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California Santa Cruz working on team to develop managmenet strategy evaluations for marine managmenet in the California Current.
