Diego L. Gonzalez

Diego Luis González was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951. He received the degree in physics and the Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from the National University of La Plata, Argentina, in 1981 and 1987, respectively. His Ph.D. degree focused on the study of synchronization and chaos in nonlinear oscillators. He qualified as a Professor of pianoforte in 1971. Since 1988, he has been working with the CNR LAMEL Institute (now IMM) in the field of microelectronics, and he collaborated with the Acoustical Laboratory of the St. George School Foundation and CNR, Venice, from 1999 to 2008. Currently, he is an Associate Researcher at the CNR Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM), also working at the Statistical Sciences Department, University of Bologna. His main research interests are the theory of low-dimensional nonlinear systems and its application to modeling complex dynamical systems and, in particular, biological ones. In this latter field, he has formulated and developed an original theory of the pitch perception of complex sounds based on multi-frequency resonances and a mathematical model of the genetic code with consequences on its putative origin and evolution.
