Jaimie Thomas Allan Dick

Jaimie Thomas Allan Dick is a Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, Queen's University Belfast, with affiliations to the Institute for Global Food Security and Research Centre in Sustainable Energy. His research focuses on invasive species, ecological interactions, and freshwater systems, combining biological, chemical, and physical control methods.

• Education and Institutions: Affiliated with Queen's University Belfast since 1999 (PI for DOE CAST AWARD) and collaborated internationally with institutions like University of Stellenbosch (Study Abroad Fellowship 2012).
• Research Interests:
  • Biological invasions and functional response analysis
  • Predator-prey dynamics in freshwater ecosystems
  • Climate change impacts on invasive species spread
  • Comparative studies between human migration and species introductions
  • Algal biochemistry and bioactive properties
• Recent Articles:
  • 2025 studies on trait-based invasion impact prediction, consumption rate comparisons, and UV effects on macroalgae.
  • Collaborative work linking riverine barriers to invasion proliferation and cross-disciplinary parallels with human migration.
• Scientific Awards:
  • 2015 Fellowship for invasive species impact methodology
  • 2021 Queen's University Belfast 'Team of the Year'
  • 2012 University of Stellenbosch Study Abroad Fellowship
• Activities:
  • PhD external examiner roles at Bournemouth and Plymouth Universities
  • Conference participation (e.g., Irish Freshwater Sciences Association 2021)

His work integrates ecological theory with practical solutions for sustainable energy and food security, addressing global challenges in invasion biology and freshwater management.
