About
Nikos Alexandridis is a Researcher affiliated with the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate, MERGE: Modelling the Regional and Global Earth system, and Biodiversity and Conservation Science at Lund University. His research focuses on modelling natural pest control mechanisms in agricultural landscapes, particularly emphasizing the role of landscape-scale land-use patterns and functional ecological approaches. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental conservation (SDG 15) and sustainable agriculture (SDG 2).
Key research interests include pest control modelling, ecological intensification, push-pull technology in sub-Saharan Africa, and climate change impacts on agricultural systems. He has contributed to projects like UPSCALE, exploring sustainable agricultural practices in East Africa, and has organized interdisciplinary workshops such as the 6th International Research Workshop on Archetype Analysis.
Recent publications highlight his work on archetype models for pest control prediction, climate-resilient farming systems, and the integration of socio-ecological approaches in conservation. His awards include recognition for advancing sustainable intensification strategies and innovative ecological modelling techniques.
Advising and grants include leadership roles in projects like Climate Proofing Conservation of Rare Pollinators and Rethinking MPAs. Collaborations span institutions globally, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
