Biography
Howard H. Pattee is a Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University. His main research interests are theoretical biology with a focus on origin of life, artificial life, biosemiotics, semiotic control of dynamic systems, and the physics of codes and symbols. His many contributions to the symbol-matter problem have had much influence on theoretical biology, biosemiotics, complex systems and artificial life.[1][2]
