Gustav Delius

Gustav Delius is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. His research focuses on transferring methods from Quantum Field Theory, String Theory, and Integrable Systems to theoretical ecology and mathematical biology. He leads the York node of the MINOUW consortium, addressing unwanted catches in European fisheries, and develops size-spectrum models for marine ecosystems to inform fisheries policy.

Dr. Delius holds a PhD from Stony Brook University. His work spans stochastic processes, complex networks, and ecological modeling. He has led projects such as the NERC-funded 'Pyramids of Life' initiative and the EPSRC IAA grant for sustainable fisheries policy. His research integrates mathematical rigor with real-world applications in marine ecology and conservation.

Recent collaborations include interdisciplinary work on climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems and Bayesian inference for pandemic modeling. He has supervised research projects and contributed to initiatives like the MINOUW consortium, emphasizing practical policy implications of his findings.
