Matthew S. Woodstock  is  a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Morgan State University PEARL. What I like most about working here is the tight-knit community feeling of the PEARL, and the cutting-edge research being conducted.

Specific Research Interests Include:

• Ecosystem-based modeling of aquatic systems
• Consumer-mediated nutrient transport modeling
• Trophic connectivity and food web topology in deep-sea ecosystems
