ABOUT ME
I'm a biophysicist, educated at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, but since 2001 I'm a professor in Biometry (Theoretical Biology and Biophysics) at the Dept. of Energy and Technology, SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. I'm also the director of Agora for Biosystems, an international research center at the Sigtuna Foundation. My research includes mathematical modeling of biological systems and processes at different levels, in particular network dynamics and more specifically mesoscopic neurodynamics. Recent work includes neurocognitive models of decision making, with relevance to free will and societal transition processes. I'm also interested in the brain-mind relation, consciousness, human nature, and human-nature interaction.
