Biophilia, Edward O. Wilson
In my current postdoctoral position at McGill University, I study the interaction between brain, body, and natural rhythms through a transdisciplinary and neurophenomenological lens. In my previous postdoc at the University of Cambridge, I explored brain information profiles across wake–sleep states, with applications to neurodegenerative diseases. My current research bridges neuroscience, phenomenology, and ecology to understand how perception and synchronization with the environment shape the way we feel, sense, and relate to each other and ourselves. I am particularly interested in how practices like meditation, psychedelics, and immersion in nature modulate brain activity and foster a sense of connection to the world. I am committed to re-enchanting scientific research through storytelling, traditional ecological knowledge, and embodied engagement with the natural world.
