Kalle Parvinen

Kalle Parvinen has worked at IIASA several times since 1998. He participated in the Young Scientists Summer Program in 2000 and was awarded the Mikhalevich Scholarship for his work on the evolution of dispersal in metapopulations. He is currently working on a part-time basis in the Evolution and Ecology (EEP) Program as a Research Scholar.

Dr. Parvinen studied applied mathematics at the University of Turku, Finland, where he completed his master's degree in 1997. He completed his doctoral thesis entitled "Adaptive Metapopulation Dynamics" and received his PhD degree in June 2001. He obtained his habilitation (docent, adjunct professor) in biomathematics in February 2006. In 2012, he completed pedagogical studies for university teachers (60 ECTS credits). He is a permanent university researcher in applied mathematics at the University of Turku.

Dr. Parvinen's fields of interest are metapopulations, especially structured metapopulation models, evolution of dispersal (migration) and cooperation, and the general theory of adaptive dynamics, including evolutionary suicide and function-valued traits.
