Biography

Christoph Adami is a Visiting Scientist and former Principal Scientist in the Exploration Systems Autonomy Section of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and a Professor of Applied Life Sciences at the Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA. His interests concern the fundamental mechanisms involved in the evolution of complexity from simplicity, both in natural and artificial systems. He has pioneered the use of digital life in computational evolutionary biology, and is the author of over 70 peer-reviewed articles in theoretical physics and biology, as well as the textbook “Introduction to Artificial Life” (Springer). He has a B.A. and a Diplom in theoretical physics from Bonn University (Germany), as well as an M.A in physics and a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from SUNY Stony Brook.
