Nicola Zengiaro
I am a biosemiotician specializing in animal studies, ecosemiotics, and complexity theory.
I hold a Ph.D. in Semiotics from the University of Bologna, where my dissertation explored the threshold between life and non-life through an ecosystemic lens, integrating perspectives from biosemiotics, evolutionary biology, systems theory, and artificial life sciences.
My current research as a Fellow Researcher focuses on how AI decodes and models animal communication, exploring the potential of computational creativity and semiotic modeling to bridge the gap between human and non-human sign systems.
