Carl Theodore Bergstrom is a theoretical and evolutionary biologist and a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, with a secondary appointment at the Santa Fe Institute.[4]
Education
Bergstrom completed his PhD at Stanford University under the supervision of Marcus Feldman[1] in 1998.
Research
Bergstrom's work concerns the flow of information through biological and social networks[5] and the ecology and evolution, including the development of resistance, of pathogenic organisms.[6][7][8][9][10][11] He is the coauthor (with Lee Dugatkin) of the college textbook Evolution.[2]
In addition to evolutionary biology, Bergstrom's interests include the ranking of scientific journals; in 2007 he introduced the Eigenfactor[3] metrics for journal ranking.[12] This and related work on open access earned him and his father, Ted Bergstrom, the SPARC Innovator award in June 2007.[13]
