David Raubenheimer

Professor David Raubenheimer is a world leader in nutritional ecology. He has combined theory from ecological, evolutionary, physiological and behavioural sciences with nutrition to produce the conceptual foundations for the field. He co-invented nutritional geometry, a modelling framework, for implementing this synthesis and applied it to produce important new insights that have had transformational impacts on several fields, among them gerontology, primatology, ecology and human nutrition. His specific discoveries include new understanding of the relationship between diet and ageing and of the causes of human obesity, a new approach for designing animal feeds, and important contributions to primatology and ecology.
