Employment dates through October 2018 - October 2019

Alexander is interested in developing and implementing novel, health-boosting interventions for society. He focuses on efficient scientific evaluation of such strategies, including various data analysis approaches. At the Center, he was particularly interested in understanding the mind-gut connection in individual well-being. This research is concurrently evolving with a project investigating how different forced breathing patterns affect the psycho-emotional domain.

Alexander has a diverse background. He is a physicist by training and previously worked at U.S. National Labs on microstructural data collection and analysis. Later, he spent time in South/Southeast Asia studying various contemplative practices and participating in a number of remote retreats. Before joining the Center, he led his own project in the field of contemplative science in which he mostly engaged with medical centers.

What does well-being mean to me?

"Well-being is knowing one’s own true nature and making a conscious choice to live to the full potential."
