At the evolutionary modelling group at KU Leuven (Belgium) we develop evolutionary models to understand how living organisms adapt, from antibiotic resistance to the evolution of human language. website: www.pietervdberg.com

Hi everyone! We are the Evolutionary Modelling Group! We are interested in many topics, from the evolution of microbial mutational robustness to the evolution of language and culture in humans. We rely on a variety of methods, both computational (evolutionary simulations) and mathematical.

Hi I am Piet! Pi of the Evolutionary Modelling Group! Isn’t it just fascinating that we are all here because of evolution? If you feel the same, feel free to reach out to me to join our group!
