Host: Prof. Cang Hui (Stellenbosch University)
Biography
Pietro Landi is a postdoctoral research fellow at Stellenbosch University. He completed his studies in Milan, Italy, and moved to Stellenbosch for his postdoc fellowship in 2015. Pietro enjoys South Africa’s outdoors and all the opportunities they offer including surfing, rock climbing, cycling, hiking and camping. Now you know where he could be when not in the office.
Research
Pietro was trained as an engineer, but moved into the field of theoretical evolutionary ecology. He is interested in any eco-evolutionary question that can be addressed using mathematical modelling. He is also interested in applying mathematical modelling and evolutionary principles to social sciences.
