Biography
Ulf Dieckmann is a Principal Research Scholar in IIASA's Advancing Systems Analysis Program. He is working on the theory of adaptive dynamics, fisheries-induced evolution, cooperation evolution, speciation theory, spatial ecology, life-history theory, and on problems in theoretical evolutionary ecology.He received his bachelor's degree in physics and his master's degree in theoretical physics from the University of Aachen, Germany. He completed his PhD research on theoretical biology at Leiden University in the Netherlands, and obtained his Habilitation (venia legendi) in biomathematics from the University of Vienna.
He has worked at Stanford University and the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, California, USA, the Research Center Julich, Germany, the University of York, UK, Leiden University, the Netherlands, and the University of Vienna, Austria.
