Andrea Giometto completed his Ph.D. in Civil Environmental Engineering at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2015. He received the Earth’s Science Award from the EPFL School of Architecture for his doctoral work, which focused on the role stochastic fluctuations play in shaping ecological patterns and processes. In 2015, Andrea became a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, working in the Department of Physics and the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, where he applied genetic engineering techniques to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial populations. His research at Harvard was supported by Postdoctoral Fellowships from the Swiss National Science Foundation. He joined the faculty of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University in the summer of 2020. Andrea holds a master's degree in Theoretical Physics and completed his undergraduate studies in Physics at the University of Padova. He also spent time as a visiting scientist at Imperial College London, where he developed his master's thesis on complexity science. Andrea's main research interest is in understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that affect spatially extended populations, utilizing a combination of statistical, nonlinear physics methods, and experimental approaches to study microbial dynamics and community interactions.
