I am a Mexican researcher. I have a wide variety of academic interests, including self-organizing systems, complexity, artificial life, evolution, cognition, artificial societies, and philosophy. I am a full time researcher at the Computer Sciences Department of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). I am also a researcher at the Centro de Ciencias de la Complejidad (C3) of the UNAM. I am Editor-in-Chief of Complexity Digest, Book Review Editor of Artificial Life, Complexity-at-Large Editor of Complexity, and webmaster of alife.org.
I did a PhD on "Design and Control of Self-organizing Systems" at the Center Leo Apostel for Interdisciplinary Studies of the Dutch-speaking Free University of Brussels. My promoters were Francis Heylighen, Diederik Aerts, and Bart D'Hooghe. Afterwards I did a postdoc at the New England Complex Systems Institute with Yaneer Bar-Yam. My homepage from that period is here.
I studied the MSc in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems in the School of Cognitive and Computer Sciences (COGS) of the University of Sussex (2001-2002). My thesis "A Comparison of Different Cognitive Paradigms Using Simple Animats in a Virtual Laboratory, with Implications to the Notion of Cognition" was supervised by Chris Thornton and Inman Harvey. You can find my webpage from that period here.
Before that, I did a BEng in Computer Engineering at the Fundación Arturo Rosenblueth in Mexico City (1996-2001), from which my thesis was "Artificial Societies of Intelligent Agents". My advisors were José Negrete Martínez,
Pedro Pablo González Pérez, and Jaime Lagunez Otero.
During this period I also collaborated with Jaime Lagunez's group at
the Instituto de Química, UNAM and coursed five semesters of Philosophy at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UNAM. My webpage from my undergraduate years can be found here:
You will find most of my scientific and philosophical work, papers,
computer programs, and art of those bygone days (1997-2001).
