Suzanne Sadedin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suzanne Sadedin is an Australian evolutionary biologist who conducted research at Monash University , the University of Tennessee , Harvard University and KU Leuven . Within evolutionary biology examined them with simulation models , the speciation and maintaining diversity. Sadedin researched dual-phase evolution, a theory about how systems can become more complex over time, and game theory models for the development of surveillance and corruption in societies .

Career

Sadedin studied zoology at Melbourne University from 1994 to 1999 . In 2004 she received her doctorate from the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University with a dissertation on “Spatially explicit agent-based models of speciation by reinforcement and cultural evolution”. In 2005 she was a Research Fellow at the Clayton School of Information Technology at Monash University. In 2007 she was a postdoctoral fellow at Gavrilets Lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee. With colleagues in Tjärnö Marine Biological Laboratory in Stromstad she developed an individual simulation model of genetic divergence in a Watt - screw . It was possible to show that the number of loci , mechanisms of partner choice and spatial arrangement of the habitat can critically influence the evolution and persistence of the beginning species. In 2008, she returned to Monash University as a Research Fellow for three years after receiving the Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship Discovery Grant in 2006 from the Australian Research Council and receiving a research grant of AU $ 262,000  . She developed u. a. an agent-based modeling to understand the effects of selfish behavior on promotion within organizations and was a visiting professor. From 2011 to 2012, Sadedin was a research fellow at the Department of Organism and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. From August 2012 to October 2013 she was a visiting researcher at the KU Leuven working on models of social evolution. Previous research had come to the conclusion that societies with a powerful police force would inevitably be prone to corruption. Using a game theory model, she and Edgar A. Duéñez-Guzmán showed how corrupt societies can transform into honest and fair cooperation. The paper was PLOS ONE's most-accessed article for several months after its publication .

Sadedin has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since the birth of her child and is a science writer a. a. at Quora , Aeon , The Huffington Post, and Business Insider . Your considerations were u. a. picked up in The Economist , USA Today , The Guardian , The Observer , and Forbes .
