Northwestern University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics presents its Spring 2016 Interdisciplinary Colloquium.  Guest speaker, Dr. Roger Malina of the University of Texas at Dallas, will present how his dual careers in both the arts and astronomy have evolved.  He is currently the Director of the UT Dallas ArtSciLab, a ‘transdisciplinary research lab carrying out national and international collaborations of work that focuses on the hybridization of art and science’.  Current projects at the ArtSciLab use visual mathematics to model gravitational waves, create interactive artworks of the Antarctic night sky, and build functional maps of the human brain. His talk will also discuss current pushes to cultivate cross-fertilization between the arts and sciences & technology sectors (sometimes called the STEM to STEAM movement in the USA or the STARTS initiatives in Europe).
