Why Is Armin Moczek Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Armin Moczek is a German evolutionary biologist and full professor at Indiana University Bloomington. Biography Moczek studied biology at the University of Würzburg, where he graduated in 1996 with a master's degree in zoology. Joining Fred Nijhout’s lab at Duke University he developed a deep interest in Evolutionary developmental biology, receiving his PhD in 2002. From 2002 to 2004 he joined the University of Arizona as a postdoctoral fellow in the Postdoctoral Excellence in Research and Teaching program. In 2004, he assumed the position of assistant professor at the Department of Biology at Indiana University, where he was promoted to associate professor in 2009 and full professor in 2014. His research focuses on the genetic, developmental, and ecological mechanisms, and the interactions among them, that facilitate innovation in living systems.
