multimedia and bioinformatics. He then immigrated to Australia and
became an A/Prof in bioinformatics at USQ. He has being associate
editor in the Proceedings of the International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence and an invited editor for the IEEE
Transactions’ series. His research interests are in, computational
creativity (biological complexity applied to music), bioinformatics,
medicine and generative music. He has published over 30 scientific
articles, one edited book (available here) and one monograph
(available here). Pursuing more humanistic goals, he commenced
post-graduate medical studies (2007-2010) at Griffith University

specialization in modern society, the idea of a modern homo
universalis (polymath) is still fundamental and achievable by fully
integrating artistic, humanistic and scientific endeavors within a
sole ideological framework.
