Marcelo Osvaldo Magnasco is a biophysicist and a professor at The Rockefeller University.
He is known for his work on thermal ratchets as models of biological motors, [1] auditory biophysics, [2] [3] bailout embeddings, [4] neural coding, [5] other studies of biological networks such as leaf venation, [6] and for placing the date of the solar eclipse mentioned in the Odyssey on April 16, 1178 B.C. [7] together with Constantino Baikouzis of the National University of La Plata. [8] [9]
In 2013, Magnasco formed the m2c2 collaboration with cetacean researcher Diana Reiss in order to study marine mammal communication and cognition. [10] [11] Their interdisciplinary team is probing dolphin intelligence using an underwater interactive touchpad at the National Aquarium (Baltimore). [12]
