Chafe ChristopherData inizio – Data fine: 14 Ottobre 2019 - 15 Febbraio 2020Ente di provenienza: Stanford University Dipartimento di destinazione: DET - Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni Chris Chafe makes his compositions alongside computer-based research into sound and music. A composer, improvisor, and cellist, he is Director of Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). At IRCAM (Paris) and The Banff Centre (Alberta), he has pursued methods for digital synthesis, computer-mediated music performance and real-time internet collaboration. His team's online low-latency software project "jacktrip" is in use worldwide and research continues into latency factors affecting musical syncronization. An active performer either on the net or physically present, his work reaches audiences in dozens of countries and sometimes at novel venues, for example, a simultaneous five-country concert hosted at the United Nations a decade ago. His gallery and museum “musification” installations employ datasets from collaborations with scientists and MD’s. Recent work includes "Gnosisong" (brain waves, Centro de Cultura Digital, Mexico City), "PolarTide" (sea level rise, Venice Biennale), "Tomato Music" (ripening tomatoes, transLife:media Festival at the National Art Museum of China) and "Sun Shot" played by the horns of large ships in the port of St. Johns, Newfoundland. |

Luthe TobiasData inizio – Data fine: 01 Marzo 2020 - 01 Luglio 2020Ente di provenienza: ETH Zurich Dipartimento di destinazione: DAD - Dipartimento di Architettura e Design Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tobias Luthe is visiting from ETH Zurich and AHO Oslo for this spring semester 2020. Tobias Luthe will co-teach the course “open systems design” together with Prof. Peruccio and colleagues of the Institute of Design, developing circular economy systems for regional territories. He will engage in organizing a joint PhD summer school with ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne, taking place in September 2020 in Ostana, Valle Po, at the MonViso Institute (MVI). MVI is a real-world laboratory for sustainability transitions and regenerative design, founded by Prof. Luthe. He will establish closer bonds between MVI and Polito, both in teaching and research on real-world transitions and design. Together with colleagues at the DAD, he will co-author a paper on inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation between science, architecture, design and practice for advancing sustainability and regenerative systems through design. As well, Prof. Luthe will engage in building a European Master program in Systemic Regenerative Design between Polito, ETH, Delft, and AHO. |

He currently holds the Theodore S. Coile Professorship of Hydrology and .Micrometeorology at the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University (Durham, NC, USA). He served as an associate editor for Advances in Water Resources (1998-present), Boundary Layer Meteorology (1998-present), Water Resources Research (2004-2009), the Vadoze zone journal (2000-2003) and served as one of the four editors-in-chief for Advances in Water Resources (2011-2014). He was a visiting scientist at the University of Virginia (in 1997), the Commonwealth Science and Industriai Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia (in 2002), at University of Helsinki (Finland) in 2009 and a FulBright-Italy Distinguished Fellow at Politecnico di Torino (ltaly) in 2010. He was also a visiting fellow at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2013, Nagoya University Gapan) in 2014, University of Helsinki (Finland) in 2017, and the Karlsruher lnstitute for Technology (Germany) in 2017. He received several honorary awards, including an honorary certificate by La Seccion de Agrofisica de la Sociedad Cubana de Fisica in Habana (in 1998), the Macelwane medal and became thereafter a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (in 2002), and the editor's citation for excellence in refereeing from the American Geophysical Union (in 2008). He also received the Scientific and Technological Achievement Award by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (in 2012). In 2012, he also received the Hydrologic Science Award from the American Geophysical Union and in 2018, he received the John Dalton medal from the European Geosciences Union. He served as the Secretary Generai for the Hydrologic Science Section at the American Geophysical Union (2006-2008). Research in Katul's lab focuses on micro-meteorology and near surface hydrology with emphasis on heat, momentum, carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone, particulate matter (including aerosols, pollen, and seeds) and water transport in the soil-plant-atmosphere system as well as their implications to a plethora of hydrological, ecologica!, atmospheric and climate change related problems. Katul has authored or co-authored more than 390 peer-reviewed publications and 7 book chapters. |
