Resume:

Dr. Tao got his Ph.D degree in theoretical evolutionary biology in Lanzhou University in 1992. In 2005 he joined the Key Lab of Animal Ecology and Conservational Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences as a professor in theoretical biology (“one-hundred talents” project, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Now his research interests mainly focus on the evolutionary game theory and behavior ecology, computational biology (stochastic dynamics of gene expression).

Research Interests:

Evolutionary Game Theory, Behavior Ecology, and Computational Biology (stochastic dynamics of gene expression).
