About the speaker

Paul Smaldino, Professor, Cognitive and Information Sciences, University of California, Merced

Paul Smaldino studies how behaviors emerge and evolve in response to social, cultural, and ecological pressures, as well as how those pressures can themselves evolve. He also has broad interests related to cultural evolution, cooperation, and complex systems. Much of his work involves building and analyzing mathematical models and computer simulations. Some of his current projects involve the emergence of identity signaling strategies, the role of identity in social learning, socioecological influences on personality development, the role of diversity in innovation, the cultural evolution of analogies, and the population dynamics of scientific norms.
