Summary
David Alonso is a senior research scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) with over a decade of experience probing the organizational principles of ecological and evolutionary systems through interdisciplinary methods spanning physics, mathematics, biology, and computer science. He specializes in stochastic and nonlinear models to assess disease spread under global environmental change and the mechanisms driving species origination, persistence, and loss in communities. His career includes prestigious fellowships (Ramon y Cajal, VENI-NWO) and research collaborations across Europe and the US, reflecting a strong track record in quantitative ecology and infectious-disease risk evaluation. Trained as a physicist (PhD, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), he blends theoretical rigor with applied conservation questions, often using self-organization and complex-systems perspectives to reveal non-obvious drivers of biodiversity dynamics.
