Laurent Lehmann is a Full Professor at the University of Lausanne, holding a position in the Department of Ecology and Evolution within the Faculty of Biology and Medicine. He has served as director of the master's program 'Behaviour, Economics, and Evolution' since 2015. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Lausanne (2011-2015) and the University of Neuchâtel (2009-2011). His academic journey includes postdoctoral research at Stanford University with Prof. Marc Feldman, Cambridge University with Dr. François Balloux, and the University of Helsinki with Prof. Hanna Kokko. Lehmann's research focuses on mathematical and simulation models to study the evolution of social behaviors, including cooperation, altruism, and learning. His work spans three primary areas: individual decision processes, life-history evolution, and the transition to large-scale human societies. His theoretical approach addresses fundamental questions about how social behaviors evolve through natural selection, with particular attention to the roles of kinship, spatial structure, and cultural transmission. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on mathematical modeling of social evolution, with recurring themes including Hamilton's rule, kin selection, cultural transmission, and evolutionary game theory. His work bridges theoretical biology with anthropological questions about human social evolution, particularly examining how large-scale cooperation emerged in human societies. Recent papers demonstrate increasing integration of cultural evolution with traditional population genetic approaches. As an academic mentor, Lehmann has supervised doctoral students including Fumagalli E. (2014), with research focusing on information sharing and social network dynamics. His work has received funding from major research agencies including ERC and SNSF Starting Grants, as noted on his departmental profile. Lehmann leads a research group within the Department of Ecology and Evolution that develops mathematical models to understand social behavior evolution. His group collaborates across disciplinary boundaries, connecting evolutionary theory with economics, anthropology, and cognitive science to address fundamental questions about human sociality and cooperation.
