Benno Simmons
I’m a Lecturer in Ecological Data Science at the University of Exeter, where I lead the Simmons Lab. I did my undergraduate at the University of Oxford, Masters at Imperial College London, and PhD at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of William Sutherland and Lynn Dicks. I then did a postdoc at the University of Sheffield, before joining Exeter in 2019.
I’m interested in using data science and technology to understand and reverse biodiversity loss. I have broad interests within this theme, and so work in the group spans a wide range of topics and methods.
