Peleg Kark

Peleg is interested in tackling complex environmental challenges and bridging the gap between economic policy and biodiversity conservation. He has a dual degree in Economics and Science, with a major in Applied Mathematics, and is currently doing his Honours in Economics. He enjoys using mathematical modelling and programming tools in his work. His research explores environmental market designs, with Professors Ian MacKenzie, Lana Friesen, and John Quiggin as his advisors.

As part of Peleg’s passion for the natural world, he serves as a global Ambassador for iNaturalist and a Student Ambassador for the Nature Positive Universities program. Having travelled around the world and speaking three languages, he aims to bring cross-disciplinary perspectives to his research and teaching. You’ll often find him outside, running along the river, organising a game of ultimate frisbee, or photographing wildlife.
