Robert Desharnais (born March 29, 1955) is an American evolutionary biologist. His research area is population biology, applying mathematical modeling to ecology.

Education

Desharnais studied biology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1976. At the University of Rhode Island, in 1979, he earned a Master of Science degree in zoology, and in 1982 he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in zoology. His doctoral advisor was the population geneticist Robert F. Constantino.

Career

After finishing his graduate studies, from 1982 to 1983, Desharnais was a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University.

In 1988, he moved to Los Angeles, California to work as an assistant professor at California State University, Los Angeles, and in 1997, there he became full professor.

Research

Some of his research interests are theoretical biology, nonlinear population dynamics, and the role of natural selection in population dynamics.
