Christopher J. Greyson-Gaito

(he/him)

I am an applied mathematician researching at the intersection of mathematics, ecology, and economics. My research revolves around the question of how can humans dance (co-create) with nature. Research topics include resilience and the impacts of energy and matter throughput within ecological and economics systems. I am also active in urbanism advocacy and have written a policy report "Removing Parking Minimums: A Key Step Towards an Affordable, Healthy, and Sustainable Guelph".
