FELLOW

PhD in theoretical physics. Works on quantum gravity, higher category theory, formal language and consciousness. Academic director, Wolfram Research. Cofounder, Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science. Former associate professor, Pompeu Fabra University. Authored over 100 academic publications.

FELLOW

Received a B.A in computer science from Vassar College, Pursuing a Masters degree in information systems from NYU. Researching minimal computational models for biology and other complex systems.

FELLOW

Richard studied artificial intelligence at the University of Edinburgh and has research engineering experience in both medical neuroscience and machine learning, as well as experience working in the games industry. His interests range from graph rewriting and compiler and programming language design to GPU and graphics programming.

FELLOW

Pavel is a mathematician with a background in theoretical physics, originally drawn to Hamiltonian systems, symmetries, and quantization. His PhD and postdoctoral work bridged Chern–Simons theory, string topology, and symplectic geometry. He later worked as a full-stack software engineer on large-scale distributed systems and now merges his passion for science, programming, and the Wolfram Language at the Wolfram Institute.

FELLOW

Pedro is a biologist interested in the theoretical foundations of biology, particularly the origins and persistence of self-organization, evolution, and complexity. Before joining the Wolfram Institute, he was an Omidyar Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, where he conducted research in theoretical biology as well as in the historical and computational linguistics of Purépecha, his native language and culture.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES LEAD
