Guest Senior Research Scholar Exploratory Modeling of Human-natural Systems Research Group - Advancing Systems Analysis Program
Andreas Richter joined IIASA in September 2016, as a senior guest researcher with the Ecosystems Services and Management Program (ESM).
Dr. Richter received his PhD degree in Plant Biology from the University of Vienna, Austria in 1989. He currently is full professor for terrestrial ecosystem research and vice head of the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science at the University of Vienna and director of the Austrian Polar Research Institute.
He is interested in all aspects of terrestrial ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry. His research aims at a mechanistic understanding of the role of soil microbes and their interaction with plants in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. His research specifically focuses on (a) ecological stoichiometry (carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency of microbial communities) (b) the cycling and decomposition of soil organic matter, and (c) the link between microbial community structure and ecosystem processes.
Dr. Richter is involved in IIASA's theoretical modeling effort in the IMBALANCE-P project, which aims at identifying the dominant processes of the interactive dynamics of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in ecosystems.
