Gregory Dwyer is a Professor in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on the intricate relationships between climate change, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and host-pathogen interactions. He utilizes mathematical models to answer pivotal questions regarding how host variation affects pathogen epidemics and the evolutionary trajectories of pathogens. His work encompasses testing these models through experimental and observational data, particularly within insect pathogen systems. Dwyer's expertise includes statistical computing and quantitative ecology, leveraging advanced techniques to contribute to topics such as human papillomavirus and salmon conservation. In his career, he has been involved in significant projects examining the ecological and economic impacts of biological control methods and the effects of climate change on insect population dynamics. Notably, he has been recognized for his contributions to ecological research and teaching, receiving the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2014 and the George Mercer Award for Outstanding Paper Author from the Ecological Society of America in 1998.
