Long Bio

Manfred Laubichler is Global Futures Professor and President's Professor of Theoretical Biology and History of Biology. He is director of the School of Complex Adaptive Systems and the Decision Theater at Arizona State University. His work focuses on evolutionary novelties from genomes to knowledge systems, the structure of evolutionary theory and the evolution of knowledge. His undergraduate training was in zoology, philosophy and mathematics at the University of Vienna (Austria) and his graduate training was in biology at Yale and in History/History of Science at Princeton. He is external professor at the Santa Fe Institute and, visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena, Germany, and external faculty member at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. He is also an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a former fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and Vice Chair of the Global Climate Forum.
