Tancredi Caruso

Dr. Tancredi Caruso is an academic staff member at the School of Biological Sciences at Queen's University Belfast. His research integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to study ecological and evolutionary processes shaping terrestrial biodiversity, with a primary focus on soil ecosystems.

• Investigates soil biodiversity (microarthropods, nematodes, fungi, bacteria)
• Examines interactions between microbes, plants, and animals
• Focuses on nutrient cycling and plant community dynamics

He actively engages in public outreach initiatives, such as the 'Belowground visions of life' project and the 'Soil makes Art' exhibition (April 2017). Dr. Caruso welcomes PhD applications for projects testing general ecological theory on soil organisms or with applied plant/soil focus.
