Tommaso Jucker

Biography

Tommaso Jucker is an Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol (UK), where he leads the Selva lab (https://www.selvalab.org). His research is broadly focused on understanding the processes that shape the structure and function of the world's forests, in an effort to predict how these will respond to rapid environmental change and what impacts this will have for nature and people. He and his team do this using everything from manipulative experiments, long-term field observations and remote sensing.

Tommaso obtained his PhD in 2015 from the University of Cambridge (UK), where he worked with David Coomes. Before joining the University of Bristol as a NERC Independent Research Fellow in 2019, Tommaso was a Research Scientist at Australia's CSIRO between 2017-19, where he was based in Perth in the Ecosystem Change Ecology team.
