Joseph William Barrass Butterick

Dr Joe Butterick is a Research Fellow in the Department of Social Statistics and Demography at the University of Southampton. He actively contributes to the ESRC Centre for Population Change, focusing on developing and analyzing matrix models of kinship through mathematical, statistical, and simulation-based approaches. His interdisciplinary work connects demography with mathematical modeling.

• Current Research: Kinship modeling, anti-predator behavior in animal groups
• Key Expertise: Evolutionary Game Theory, structured population models

His recent publications demonstrate expertise in applying mathematical frameworks to both biological (animal populations) and social (intergenerational care) contexts. Although no explicit awards are documented, his work aligns with population dynamics and behavioral ecology research areas.

Joe supervises research projects and collaborates within the modeling team, while his teaching contributions remain unspecified in this profile. His technical skills span statistical analysis, simulation methods, and interdisciplinary demographic modeling.
