COLLOQUIUM ARTS MEET SCIENCES/Andrea Brini & Marios Joannou Elia
Andrea Brini, Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Sheffield. His research field lies at the intersection of Geometry and Mathematical Physics: his work centres on the mathematical aspects of String Theory and their interface with Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry. His main research topics are the theory of topological strings and Gromov-Witten theory, with emphasis on their connections to gauge theory, matrix models, integrable systems, and other moduli space problems...
Topic: Quantum Geometry
Marios Joannou Elia, composer, academician and cultural leader, described by CNN as «the child prodigy of contemporary music» and «the man for monumental events». His work is defined by large-scale, polymedial creations that fuse music, space, technology and collective memory.
