December 7 - 9, 2020 — Zoom
Marco Buongiorno Nardelli
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
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.

Tyler Marghetis
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.

Dmitri Tymoczko
Princeton University
Bio:
Dmitri Tymoczko is a composer and failed former philosopher who loves to think about how music works. On this site you can listen to my music, learn what I think makes music sound good, find links to writing both technical and non, download jazz transcriptions, and check out various pieces of software I have written. My newest CD is called Fools and Angels (Panoramic/New Focus, 2018) and contains four eclectic pieces for vocals, live instruments, and electronics.
