Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Wenseleers is a Professor of evolutionary biology at KU Leuven with 11+ years of senior academic experience studying the forces that shape social behaviour and complex traits across organisms. His lab integrates theoretical modelling, advanced statistics, experiments and next‑gen omics—publishing repeatedly in top journals including Nature and Science—and applies those tools to systems ranging from bees and ants to microbes, humans and robot swarms. He combines deep conceptual work on kin selection, levels‑of‑selection and bet‑hedging with hands‑on expertise in R, C++ and Python for high‑throughput omics and GC/MS pipelines. Notably, he bridges empirical and computational approaches by testing fundamental evolutionary theory across unusually diverse model systems, revealing general principles that transcend taxa. Based in Leuven, Belgium, he also has strong experience mentoring, building interdisciplinary teams and communicating science to broad audiences.
