Siddharth Unnithan Kumar

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Exeter

After training in mathematics, I have worked closely with (and have had the contours of my mind shaped by) geographers, ecologists, anthropologists, and Indigenous scholars, among others. This has been anything but a linear journey; at present, I am drawn to understanding how humans relate with each other and with the more-than-human world, and how concepts and perceptions of the world influence (and, in turn, are influenced by) how one lives and acts in the world.

In February 2024, I started a three-year postdoctoral position with the University of Exeter’s RENEW programme, working with Kevin Gaston and Peter Challenor to develop the uses of mathematics in ecology; in particular, bringing mathematical methods into correspondence with embodied experience of nature through the concept of a ‘personalised ecology’.
