Mercedes Pascual is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Complex Systems, at the University of Michigan. She is also an external faculty of the Santa Fe Institute. Dr. Pascual is a theoretical ecologist interested in the population dynamics of infectious diseases, their response to changing environments (e.g., climate change and climate variability), and their interplay with pathogen diversity. She is also working on the structure and dynamics of food webs, the complex networks formed by species and their interactions in ecosystems. Dr. Pascual received her Ph.D. degree in 1995 from the joint program of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  She was awarded a U.S. Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship for studies at Princeton University, and a Centennial Fellowship in the area of Global and Complex Systems from the James S. McDonnell Foundation. Dr. Pascual is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has been recently appointed an investigator of the Howards Hughes Medical Institute.
