Biography
Ovie holds a Ph.D in Water Resource Science, and another Ph.D in Hydrobiology and Fisheries. Ovie is a predictive and socio-ecologist. Ovie research focuses on developing stressor-specific taxonomic and trait-based biomonitoring approaches for assessing riverine health and how the developed approaches can be used as utilities for ecosystem management and sustainability.
