Biography

Sebastian Diehl is a Professor of Ecology at Umeå University, specializing in mathematical models that describe the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. He holds a PhD in animal ecology from Umeå University, obtained in 1994, after graduating with an undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Göttingen in Germany. Diehl has extensive research experience, including postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a professorship in aquatic ecology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich from 1996 to 2009. His current research focuses on mathematical modeling to understand how environmental factors influence consumer-resource interactions and ecosystem dynamics. He leads several research projects exploring the impact of climate change on northern lake ecosystems, particularly how increased water temperature and nutrient inputs affect fish production and greenhouse gas exchange. Diehl's administrative roles include serving as the final examiner for PhD education and being a chair on the advisory council of the Umeå Marine Science Centre.
