Biographies
Tatsuya Togashi
Dr. Togashi is an Assistant Professor of Marine Biology at the Marine Biosystems Research Center of Chiba University in Japan. He is also a Research Fellow with the Institute for Ethnomedicine and a Research Associate of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens in the United States. His main study area is evolutionary ecology. His current interests are the mechanisms of the evolution of anisogamy using marine green algae and theoretical approaches. He holds a BS degree in biology from Yokohama City University and a PhD in biology from Hokkaido University.
Paul Alan Cox
Dr. Cox serves as Executive Director of the Institute for Ethnomedicine in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He began studies of anisogamy in the late 1970s, and published several papers based on search theory in early 1980s. His interests as an evolutionary biologist focus on the evolution of anisogamy, as well as breeding systems in plants. As an ethnobotanist, his current research focuses on the origins of neurodegenerative diseases among indigenous people. He holds a B. S. in Botany and Philosophy from Brigham Young University, a M.Sc in Ecology from the University of Wales, and Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard University.
John Bartelt
Dr. Bartelt retired as Director of R&D for GM Hughes Electronics and Hughes Research Laboratories in 1999. Most of his career was spent in the fields of microelectronics and ultramicrominiaturization. He is now a Senior Research Fellow with the Institute for Ethnobiology and a Research Associate of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens in Kauai, HI. His current interests include simulation, cluster computing, evolutionary programming, and statistical analysis. He holds a BS degree in Organic Chemistry from Massachussets Institute of Technology and a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Michigan State University.
