Evolución y Comportamiento Humano Transversal

Profesor Titular y líder del grupo CODEC. Estudia la comunicación vocal humana, la elección de pareja y la musicalidad, con especial interés en la ciencia abierta y la reproducibilidad.

Mi investigación adopta una perspectiva evolutiva para estudiar la comunicación humana, con énfasis en la comunicación vocal, la elección de pareja y la musicalidad. Me interesan especialmente los mecanismos bioacústicos y psicoacústicos que subyacen al comportamiento social, así como los efectos hormonales sobre la conducta humana.

He publicado algunos de los primeros estudios que demuestran cambios intraindividuales en el tono de voz en respuesta al estatus social del oyente, y he documentado efectos significativos de la modulación vocal en contextos de cortejo. Mi trabajo se desarrolla principalmente en el Laboratorio EvoCo de la Universidad El Bosque, Bogotá.

Soy un convencido del rigor metodológico y la ciencia abierta: uso R para todos mis análisis y comparto datos, código y materiales de forma abierta. Con ese espíritu, impulsé la creación de MetaCiencia, un semillero orientado a formar estudiantes en prácticas colaborativas, abiertas y reproducibles.

Asimismo, he contribuido a la vida académica y editorial. Soy fundador y miembro del Consejo Directivo de la Latin American Association for Human Behavioral and Evolutionary Sciences (LAAHBES), recomendador (equivalente a editor asociado) en PCI Registered Reports, y Data Editor de Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
