My main passion is evolution of technology and technometrics. My philosophy of science is “Vere scire est per causas scire” (Really know through the cause). The goal of my scientific research is to make statistical analyses, models, do experiments, and conduct observational studies that illuminate the evolutionary properties of technology in society, processes of coevolution between technologies, and the measurement of technological advances over time and space.
