Graduate Student

Lee Qi (she/her) grew up in Singapore, and left its sunny shores for the Lester B. Pearson United World College in Victoria, British Columbia. She then graduated from the University of Miami with a BSc in Marine Science and Biology, minoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. Thereafter, she got her MSc in Aquatic and Fishery Sciences from the University of Washington, advised by André. Upon graduating, she worked as a fisheries scientist with the Sustainable Fisheries Group at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since then, Lee Qi returned to SAFS for her PhD, co-advised by André Punt and Ray Hilborn.

Her current work focuses on multiple approaches to fisheries management; from modelling fisher behaviour in the Bering Sea to management of highly-mixed fisheries. She also mentors visiting fisheries scientists from China, working on assessments of species in their local waters. Lee Qi’s work is supported by grants from the David-Lucille Packard Foundation and the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO).
