#17 - Carlos Zapata-Carratala: Multidisciplinary Research, Sustainability & The Future of Creativity
Description
In this episode, we chat with Dr. Carlos Zapata-Carratala, a mathematical scientist. He founded SEMF, an international non-profit association dedicated to advancing education and knowledge communication. We begin by discussing information overflow and how multidisciplinary research can help make sense of these data and spot relevant patterns. Next, we talk about the advent of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, creating an ecosystem of sentient digital beings and the technologies that would propel it forward, such as generative AI and computational interfaces. We further discuss the mathematical approaches to describe higher-order systems and relations, such as within circular DNA and brain imaging. We dive deeper into the nature of the creative process involving highly specialized multidisciplinary experts. We also touch on sustainable living, quality of life, and the interrelation between nature, intelligence, and design.
