Prof. Bernd Rosslenbroich is a Professor of Phenomenological Foundations of Natural Science and Biology at Alanus Hochschule's Waldorf Institute. He previously led the Institute for Evolutionary Biology and Morphology at the University of Witten/Herdecke since 2005 and completed his Habilitation there in 2006 on 'Increase in autonomy as a mode of macroevolution.' His work bridges evolutionary biology, organismic theory, and Waldorf educational science.

• Current university: Alanus Hochschule
• Former roles: Head of Evolutionary Biology Institute (Witten/Herdecke), Postdoc at University of Giessen

Research focuses on biological autonomy, organismic systems, and evolutionary patterns. Key contributions include books on 'Properties of Life' (MIT Press 2023) and 'On the Origin of Autonomy' (Springer 2014). His articles analyze autonomy development across evolutionary history and its implications for education and medicine.

Publications emphasize interdisciplinary connections between biology, philosophy, and pedagogy, particularly in Waldorf school curricula. No specific awards listed, but extensive academic contributions in Goetheanist biology and evolutionary theory are evident.
