Involved in several projects such as the origins of multicellularity, prokaryote endosymbioses, syntrophy, bet hedging, and agnostic biosignatures.
Research Experience
Associate professor at Umeå University, splitting his time between the interdisciplinary research center IceLab and the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Main research areas include the origins of multicellularity, endosymbiosis, syntrophy, bet hedging, and agnostic biosignatures.
Background
Research focuses on the evolution of biological complexity, particularly the origins of multicellularity, endosymbiosis, life cycles, and organizational scales. Interested in how simple organisms evolve into complex ones.
Miscellany
Enjoys gardening (though it's hard to tell from his plants), embraces many random interests depending on his surroundings, including falling in embarrassing ways while cross-country skiing and trying to tame his kefir culture.
