Dr. Giulio De Leo

Biography

I am a theoretical ecologist with a focus on the dynamics of harvested populations and the processes that inform practical management strategies. My research has, in recent years, concentrated on the resilience of natural ecosystems facing anthropogenic stressors such as climate change. I explore two key areas: understanding population resilience against infectious diseases and enhancing the resilience of commercially significant marine populations. My work extends across various theoretical and applied problems, including the conservation of the European eel and sustainable management practices for marine fisheries. I co-founded the Stanford Program in Disease Ecology and Health Environment, and I am a founding member of the Stanford Human and Planetary Health Center. My education includes a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Parma and University of Ferrara and a Master's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. I have published extensively and am engaged with multiple professional organizations, contributing to the dialogue on ecological solutions that enhance human health and environmental stewardship.
