Alexandros Pantelides holds a BSc (First Class Honors) and an MSc (Merit) in Paleobiology from UCL and University of Bristol, respectively. He holds an MSc in Oil and Gas Technology (Distinction) from the Technological Educational Institute of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (which since has become part of the International Hellenic University). He is currently a PhD candidate working on “Spatial Analysis in Paleobiogeography” under the supervision of Prof. Pheadon Kyriakidis.

Alexandros’s research focuses on mechanistic simulations of paleobiogeographic patterns and processes of ancient animals and humans through the use of Agent-Based Modeling. He also uses a blend of spatial analytic and geostatistical methods, as well as analytical modeling of thermo-physiology and locomotion energetics. Moreover, he is interested in using computational fluid dynamics to solve problems related to aquatic locomotion of living organisms.

His goal is to make regional and global scale inferences on the macroecology and biogeography of life in the past, through a combination of the aforementioned tools and methods.
