Julia Múgica is a Mexican scientist and artist who currently focuses on exploring complex processes in nature. With an interdisciplinary background that includes undergraduate studies in biology, a master degree in psychology, and a Ph.D. in computational physics, she is deeply interested in understanding how collectives make decisions that result in behavioral synchrony. Recently, she has been dedicated to creative coding, where the process of creation amplifies different aspects of the same phenomenon. Julia’s work encompasses data analysis and visualization, modeling of animated particles, designing sound based on algorithms of random motion, rhythm and collective patterns using interactive robots, and artistic applications of voice recognition. She teaches at the University of Barcelona, where she instructs on collective behavior and complexity from a socio-computational perspective.
