Steve Simpson

Stephen Simpson has pioneered major developments at the interface of nutritional physiology, ecology, and behaviour. His groundbreaking discovery of the mechanisms that induce swarming in locusts (studies which span neuro-chemistry through to consequences for individual behaviour and population ecology) has immense practical and conceptual benefits. He has also developed a novel class of state-space models for nutrition. His Geometric Framework (GF) powerfully integrates ideas in this field and, although it arose from extensive experiments on insects, is now being applied in a wide variety of contexts, including the search for dietary causes of human obesity.
