Anna Guerrero

Anna Guerrero is a Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI), holding a James S. McDonnell Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Understanding Dynamic and Multi-scale Systems since July 2023.

Her educational background includes:

• B.S. in Microbiology from Arizona State University
• Ph.D. in Biology from the Center for Biology and Society at Arizona State University

Guerrero's research focuses on the roles of images in human sociotechnical knowledge systems, particularly how scientists create and use images to study invisible phenomena such as organelles, cells, and microbial aggregates. She employs interdisciplinary methods from history, computational humanities, philosophy, microbiology, and scientific illustration to investigate how images influence scientific concepts and how prior concepts shape scientific imagery. Her current work at SFI involves developing computational tools to model the evolution of knowledge through image networks.

Her notable scientific award is:

• James S. McDonnell Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Understanding Dynamic and Multi-scale Systems

Guerrero has not been mentioned to advise students or lead specific labs at SFI.
