Curriculum vitae

274

Andrés Eduardo Quiñones Paredes was born in Bogotá on September 10 of 1984. He attended Liceo de Cervantes, and obtained the high-school degree on 2001.

He was awarded the PAES scholarship to study biology at the National University of Colombia. In 2007, he graduated with honours, after obtaining the second best

score in the national exam for quality in secondary education (ECAES). In 2008, he was awarded the best biology undergraduate thesis from the National University

of Colombia for his work modelling the population dynamics of the swallowtail

butterfly Parides panares. From 2007 to 2009, he was a biology high-school teacher

at Colegio Hacienda los Alcaparros. In 2009, he moved to Groningen, the Netherlands, to study the top master programme in evolutionary biology. In Groningen, he worked in the theoretical biology group developing models on the evolution of human

cooperation. Then, he went to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI),

in Panama, to work on the social behaviour of the primitively social sweat bee Megalopta genalis. In 2011, he graduated cum laude, obtaining a master of science

in ecology and evolution from the University of Groningen. In 2012 he started as a PhD student in the theoretical biology group in the University of Groningen. During his PhD he developed models of the evolution of social behaviour, assessing the effects of life-history and behavioural plasticity. In November 2016, he will start

a postdoctoral position in the department of behavioural ecology, in the University

of Neuchatel. His work will be to develop mathematical models of the evolution of

decision making processes, in the context of the mutualistic interaction between the

cleaner wrasse and its clients.
