I am a biophysicist focusing on the application of methods from physics to the study of evolution, with a current emphasis on brain morphometry. My contributions to CZ will be centered around these topics, but below, I provide a broader list of topics to which I might add contents. If you are up to work on one of those, feel free to drop me a line to initiate joint action. In case you find no match, you may have more luck with the lists of core articles, special pages, most linked pages or most wanted articles.

Scientific interests

Applied cognitive science: The use of neuroscientific insights in non-neuroscientific environments, particularly in management and politics. ^[e]
Biolinguistics: An interdisciplinary field that explores human natural language’s fundamental properties, development in individuals, use in thinking and communicating, brain implementation, genetic underpinnings, and evolutionary origins. ^[e]
Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Biomineralisation: The study of minerals produced or maintained by biological systems. ^[e]
Biomusicology: The study of biological aspects of music perception and production. ^[e]
Biophysical economics: The study of economic systems as a kind of metabolism, using biophysical methods from biological thermodynamics and ecology. ^[e]
Biophysics: The study of forces and energies in biological systems. ^[e]
Brain evolution: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. ^[e]
Brain morphometry: The quantitative study of structures in the brain, their differences between individuals, correlations with brain function, and changes of these characteristics over time. ^[e]
Brain plasticity: The ability of the brain to adapt to new situations, e.g. by learning or neurogenesis. ^[e]
Cold hardiness: The ability of an organism to survive temperatures below the melting point of water, i.e. at 0°C or less (at sea level). ^[e]
Comparative physiology: The study of biochemical and biophysical processes of tissues across species. ^[e]
Cryopreservation: A process where cells or whole tissues are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures. ^[e]
Evolution: A change over time in the proportions of individual organisms differing genetically. ^[e]
Fossils: A naturally preserved record of ancient life. ^[e]
Music perception: The study of the neural mechanisms involved in people perceiving rhythms, melodies, harmonies and other musical features. ^[e]
Music psychology: The study of how, when, where and why people engage in music and dance. ^[e]
Open Access: Add brief definition or description
Origin of life: How did self-replicating biochemistry and cells arise from the prebiotic world approximately four billion years ago? Aka abiogenesis. ^[e]
Physics: The study of forces and energies in space and time. ^[e]
Schizophrenia: A mental disorder characterized by impaired perception of the individual's environment. ^[e]
Shape description: Mathematical subfield concerned with the quantification of arbitrary shapes. ^[e]
Sustainable science: A movement to incorporate sustainability issues into scientific activities. ^[e]
Vocal learning: The ability of an organism to imitate sounds not inborn to it. ^[e]
