Biologist, Independent researcher, Vital Urban Systems expert, Composer/musician/engineer. 

 

Developing Dynamic Intelligence Theory through four decades of environmental activism, cross-cultural cooperation and implementation, infinite curiosity, perseverance, experience in cognitive development, organizational transformation and systems change.

Current Position

Strategic Advisor & Vital System Expert, City of Rotterdam | Applied Cognitive-Emotional Systems Research

Educational Background

MSc (Biology) - Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands

Master in Environmental Business Administration (MEBA), Technical University Twente, Netherlands
 

Unique Expertise

  • Cross-Cultural Implementation: 40+ years developing cognitive frameworks across diverse global cultural contexts

  • Systems Integration: Practical experience bridging neuroscience, governance, education, and organizational development

  • Municipal Innovation: Real-world testing ground for Dynamic Intelligence applications in urban governance

  • Interdisciplinary Synthesis: Unique perspective from working across sectors, cultures, and knowledge domains

 

Research Philosophy

"Paradigm shifts require both rigorous science and practical demonstration. Dynamic Intelligence Theory emerged from decades of real-world implementation, refined through neuroscientific understanding, and validated through contemporary crisis analysis. This work represents applied evolutionary neuroscience for species survival."

The Independent Researcher Advantage

My outsider status enables breakthrough insights impossible within traditional academic constraints:

  • No disciplinary silos: Free to integrate across neuroscience, evolution, politics, and education

  • Real-world validation: Ideas tested through practical implementation, not just theoretical analysis

  • Paradigm freedom: Can challenge fundamental assumptions without career risk

  • Urgency motivation: Driven by civilizational need, not publication metrics

  • Systems perspective: Three decades of pattern recognition across diverse contexts
