Christopher V. Anderson, Ph.D.
Personal Information
I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of South Dakota where I study muscle physiology and biomechanics in vertebrates and teach various physiology related courses. Prior to arriving at USD, I was a postdoctoral research and teaching associate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown University where I taught human anatomy at Brown's Alpert Medical School while conducting research on muscle physiology and whole organism performance. My Ph.D. is in Biology (Physiology and Morphology) from the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of South Florida where I did my dissertation on the "Environmental Effects on the Biomechanics and Motor Physiology of Elastically Powered Movements in Chameleons". I have a long time interest in the Chamaeleonidae, and among other activities, currently serve as the chair of the IUCN Chameleon Specialist Group (CSG). Most of my Wikipedia contributions relate to this family.
