(Germany, 1960)
Director of the Basic Research Institute of the ZKM-Center of Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany. His field of study focuses on nonlinear systems and Chaos Theory, cognitive systems and neural networks, and research on molecular dynamics simulations. He graduated in Physics in 1994. In 1998 he completed his doctoral thesis on "Deterministic entropies and dissipated structures in Newtonian molecular dynamical universes" at the University of Tübingen supervised by Professor Otto E. Rössler. He worked as a research assistant for Professor Otto E. Rössler and Dr. G. Kampis in the Division of Theoretical Chemistry, at the University of Tübingen. Complex systems and bioinformatics with an emphasis on cognitive systems are his main fields of research.
He participated in Medialab Madrid within the conferences organized for “Cibervisión02. Winter Cycle of Science and Technology of the Complutense University of Madrid” (February 27, March 4-8, March 11-15, 2002). In the context of the I International Festival of Art, Science and Technology – Cibervisión 02, a cycle of 18 conferences was held in which prominent personalities from the world of science, art and thought participated. The cycle addressed the topic of flows from the most diverse angles and contexts: those related to fluid physics; the dynamics of complex and self-organizing systems; global and economic ecosystem models; energy and information flows; neural flows and educational processes.
