معرفی
Guerino Mazzola is a Professor of Creativity, Improvisation, and Mathematical Music Theory at the School of Music, University of Minnesota. His academic career includes a PhD in Mathematics from Zurich University and postdoctoral work at Paris-Sud and Rome. He has been a key figure in developing mathematical music theory since 1980, authoring influential books such as The Topos of Music (2002) and Cool Math for Hot Music (2016).
Education: PhD in Mathematics (Zurich University), Habilitation in Algebraic Geometry (1980), and Computational Sciences (1993).
Research Interests: Mathematical foundations of music, gesture theory, performance analysis, computational musicology, and interdisciplinary creativity.
Notable contributions include the Rubato software for performance analysis and the development of gesture theory applied to free jazz. He has received awards such as the Mexican Mathematical Society Medal (2000) and has been a visiting professor at prestigious institutions like the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
Teaching spans advanced courses on gesture theory, performance science, and music informatics, with a focus on bridging mathematical rigor and artistic creativity.
