Alberto Rovellini is a Research Scientist at UW SAFS in collaboration NOAA’s Alaska Fishery Science Center. Alberto’s research focuses on developing and applying ecological models to fisheries management in the North Pacific. His main focus is the continued development of the Atlantis ecosystem model for the Gulf of Alaska. Alberto is applying Atlantis to evaluate the performance of various fisheries management strategies under future climate change in the Gulf of Alaska, with a focus on the use of ecosystem caps.

Alberto received his PhD in 2020 from Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), with a dissertation on evaluating regime shifts from coral reefs to sponge reefs. He is interested in developing and applying computational models to explore ecological questions, but enjoys both the field and analytical components of ecological research.
