Looking at Mt Saint-Michel
from St Malo

I consider myself a 'computational natural scientist' (Greg Chaitin described me as a "new kind of practical theoretician" here). My interests lie at the intersection of two major areas of science, namely computability and causality leading to the field I have called Algorithmic Information Dynamics.
I co-lead the Algorithmic Dynamics Lab in Stockholm, Sweden. My main research aim is twofold, to better understand the behaviour of artificial and biological systems e.g. cognition both in animal and human from a computational perspective; and to develop methods to reprogram living biological cells like we do computers to create synthetic forms, steer behaviour and help fight diseases at a molecular/genetic level. I am also the Editor of Complex Systems, the first journal in the field (founded in 1987 by Stephen Wolfram), member of the Editorial Board of several publications such as the Springer book series Emergence, Complexity and Computation, the journal Philosophies and Frontiers in Robotics and AI for its Computational Intelligence section. I also serve in the scientific advisory board of some international organisations and companies. |
