About me
Theoretical physicist who has devoted his last three decades to biophysics and modeling of ecological systems. I would rather be exploring the inner reaches of the Namib Desert or the glaciers of Antarctica than sitting beside my computer, but, alas, i end up splitting my time 50/50 between the two.
