Research Interests:
For many years, research in Dr. Cobb's lab focused on the interface among behavior, ecology, and fisheries. Much of his work has been on crustaceans, particularly lobster.
Now retired, he is working on a book about the history of lobster research. He also participates in the Coastal Institute's IGERT program, designed to develop and deliver a new way of educating Ph.D. students in coastal ecosystem management. He frequently can be found walking his dog around Kingston, or volunteering at a charter school in Providence
