Dr Richard James

Dick’s research focus is to develop and use computational methods for the analysis of patterns and processes in populations of social animals. His particular interest is in the use of network theory to unravel the social structure of group-living animals such as fish, ungulates and mammals, and the dynamics of the passage of goods through colonies of social insects.
