Welcome to Quirky Evolution
Hi, I'm Jan Verpooten, a research manager at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA) at the University of Antwerp. I hold a double doctorate in Biology and Philosophy and am affiliated with the Behavioural Ecology and Ecophysiology (BECO) research group at the University of Antwerp and the Behavioral Economics and Engineering (BEE) group at KU Leuven.
Quirky Evolution features reflections on what fascinates me about evolution, behavior, communication, and technology—from art and animals to aesthetics and AI.
