Biography

Christos Ioannou is a Professor at the University of Bristol in the School of Biological Sciences. His research primarily focuses on behavioral ecology and the dynamics of animal behavior, particularly in group living species. He explores how social interactions, environmental variables, and anthropogenic changes affect collective behavior in fish. His work leverages both theoretical approaches from physics and mathematics and empirical studies in laboratory and field settings, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. He is particularly interested in how individual differences among group members influence decision-making and interactions within the group, as well as how these dynamics can be affected by environmental stressors such as climate change.
