Alistair Senior is an Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow at the University of Sydney, focusing on nutritional ecology and its implications for health and evolutionary fitness. He completed his undergraduate and master's degrees in Biological Sciences and subsequently moved to the University of Otago, New Zealand, to earn his PhD in Zoology. Senior's post-doctoral research at the University of Sydney involved nutritional ecology under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Simpson. His research aims to understand the complex interactions between organisms and their nutritional environments, exploring how diets influence longevity and health. He employs a variety of research methods, including theoretical mathematical models, experimental animal studies, and observational epidemiological data, with a special interest in meta-analysis and methods development. His work aligns with the Faculty of Science's Research Strengths and provides insight into how dietary strategies evolve over time, influencing physiological adaptations and health outcomes. Senior offers student projects in experimental nutritional biology, meta-analysis, and computational simulations, focusing on questions at the intersection of nutritional ecology and evolutionary biology.
