Marco Buongiorno Nardelli


{border}
University of North Texas - USA

Bio: Marco Buongiorno Nardelli is University Distinguished Research Professor at the University of North Texas: composer, flutist, computational materials physicist, and a member of CEMI, the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia, and iARTA, the Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Institute of Physics, an Associate Fellow of IMéRA, the Institute for Advanced Studies of Aix-Marseille University, and a Parma Recordings artist.

Miguel Fuentes


{border}
Santa Fe Institute - USA

Bio: Miguel Fuentes seeks to understand the behavior of Complex Systems from a fundamental-conceptual point of view, focusing on anomalies that are often important ingredients for the emergence of new emerging characteristics. He works in interdisciplinary research, from mathematical physics, with a focus on statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics and the use of information theory and complexity measures to characterize and understand complex behaviors in closely related systems with highly interdisciplinary interest, from hard physical models to social systems, the spread of information, ecology, public policies, etc.

Another important aspect of his research is the epistemological study of complex systems. This study focuses on the analysis of the evolution of scientific theories and the dynamics of innovations.

Miguel Fuentes holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Instituto Balseiro, Argentina, and also a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science from the National University of La Plata, Argentina.

He has worked and studied at places such as the Pierre et Marie Curie University, the Institut Non-Linéaire de Nice, the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe Institute.

As a member of the HUB, Scot is an early pioneer of networked computer music and has developed many "cellphone operas". He has created a series of co-located international Internet performances and worked developing audio for several games and interactive products. He is an expert in educational technology.

Collaborator with Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Curran, Pierre-Alain Hubert and many others. He was a student of Roy Harris, Darius Milhaud, John Chowning, Robert Ashley, Terry Riley, "Blue" Gene Tyranny, David Cope among others.

Tyler Marghetis


{border}
University of California, Merced

Bio: Tyler Marghetis studies the stable regimes and sudden ruptures of human thought and action. His research explores moments of insight in mathematicians, creative leaps in improvising musicians, and the shared conceptions of entire cultures. He is Assistant Professor of Cognitive and Information Sciences at the University of California, Merced, and an Omidyar Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute. A native of Montreal, Canada, he studied mathematics and philosophy as an undergraduate (Concordia) and cognitive science for his PhD (University of California, San Diego), and completed postdoctoral training at Indiana University Bloomington.
