Bio

Jeremy Van Cleve is a theoretical biologist broadly interested in questions in ecology, evolution, and behavior. His current research topics include studying how evolution works in changing environments, understanding how sex-specific demographic effects create selection for genomic imprinting and other novel phenotypes, and exploring how the architecture of mechanisms of behavior evolve including the evolution of empathy. After receiving a BA in biology and mathematics from Oberlin College, Jeremy spent a year as a researcher in biochemistry and biodiversity at the University of Colorado. He received his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University under the direction of Professor Marcus W. Feldman in 2009.
