Biography

Dr. Sergi Valverde is a complex systems scientist and head of the Evolution of Technology Lab (ETL) at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC). Born in Barcelona, studied computer science and physics, working for a while as professional game developer (1997-2002). Sergi's scientific career was mentored by ICREA Professor Ricard Sole (Complex Systems Lab, 2003-2016) and was very fortunate to travel to the Santa Fe Institute for many years. He was a visiting professor at the Degree of Biomedical Engineering of the University Pompeu Fabra (2009-2020), teaching "Complexity Science" and "Evolutionary Algorithms". His published research deals with complex networks, collective intelligence, and computational models of evolutionary and ecological processes. Sergi is currently working in an evolutionary theory of technological innovations.
