Eileen E. Hofmann is a professor and eminent scholar at Old Dominion University who is known for her research linking biological and physical interactions in marine systems. In 2013, Hofmann was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited her "for her pioneering work in modeling physical-biological interactions".[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Hofmann has a B.S. from Chestnut Hill College (1974), an M.S. (1976) and a Ph.D.(1980) from North Carolina State University.[2] Following her Ph.D., Hofmann was a postdoctoral scientist at Florida State University and North Carolina State University before she moved to Old Dominion University in 1989.[3][4]

From 2017 until 2019, Hofmann served as the president of the Ocean Sciences section of the American Geophysical Union.[5] Hofmann is co-Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Marine Systems[6]

Research

[edit]

Hofmann is known for her research using models to link biological and physical interactions in marine systems. She has used models to define the movement of water masses in the global ocean,[7][8] to examine the flux of nutrients on the continental shelf,[9][10] and to characterize the life history of Antarctic krill.[11][12] Hofmann has examined how predation in marine systems is connected to environmental change[13] and fisheries.[14] Her research includes work on the disease in Eastern oysters caused by Perkinsus marinus,[15][16][17] and she co-led a special issue focused on marine disease in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.[18][19] Hofmann coordinated the United States and international field work as part of the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) project.[20]
