Pages on my work as a palaeobiologist

For several years I worked as a university researcher in palaeobiology, marine biology and related fields, including computer modelling of molluscan shell growth, mainly at universities and research institutions in Germany, USA, Sweden and Japan.

I subsequently switched to working as a technical writer, software developer and IT consultant at private companies in 2007, and retired in 2019. I am continuing my scientific publishing on a very occasional basis, on my own terms, and write about any subject I happen to be interested in, exclusively as a hobby and personal interest (and among several other personal interests that compete for my time).

If you are a potential PhD student looking for a supervisor or a sponsor for a PhD, or if you are a junior researcher looking for a grant abroad to start your career under the tutorship of an established scientist at a suitable university, I am neither interested in, nor available for, these purposes. Since I am actively avoiding any involvement in academic activities, I am also unable to recommend a suitable PhD supervisor or sponsor in Sweden, or any other country. Before you move on from this web site and continue your search, however, I strongly suggest that you carefully read the page at the following link:
