Research & Publications

Building upon our understanding of the origins of the universe and all the matter it contains, I am currently researching the degree to which theories about the nature of matter can be used to understand human behavior and why culture arises and persists when humans interact with each other. It is my belief that principles of the “Standard Model” can lead to new insights into the duality (individual and group) human behavior and the societies we build.
