Patrick Andrew Green is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology at Brown University. His research focuses on animal behavior and biomechanics, particularly in understanding competitive interactions and decision-making processes among animals. He employs a range of physiological approaches to examine how animals fight for access to limited resources, such as mates and food, and the associated costs of these contests. Green's work extends to the evolution of behavior and physical adaptations that enhance survival and reproductive success. He completed his PhD at Duke University in 2018 after earning his B.S. from UCLA in 2009. His postdoctoral research included prestigious training through the Human Frontier Science Program at the University of Exeter. At Brown, he teaches courses on human anatomy and has a keen interest in how animals gather information and make choices during fights in complex environments. Green is particularly known for his studies on mantis shrimp, leveraging their unique adaptations to investigate biomechanics in competitive contexts. His findings have implications for both ecological understanding and engineering applications in conflict resolution strategies.
