Good morning!
Below please find some information on Andrew Iliadis' current research interests that revolve around philosophy and comm. Andrew is a doctoral student in the BLSC at Purdue. If you are interested in an interdisciplinary collaboration, please contact Andrew at ailiadis@purdue.edu.
"One of my current research projects involves translating the work of the French philosopher of information and communication technology Gilbert Simondon. His books have yet to reach an English speaking audience even though his work stands up alongside other major communication theorists of the twentieth century, including Claude Shannon and Norbert Wiener.
I use Simondon's notion of information artifact ontology in the method of levels of abstraction in scientific modelling and informational structural realism. I am specifically looking at interfaces in human-computer interaction and ways in which the development of more rigorous conceptual designs of interfaces can better assist facilitation in creative and educational environments.
The research will contribute to a UNESCO-sponsored Philosophy of Information undergraduate textbook for Philosophy and Engineering departments who might want to incorporate a theoretical approach to information and information ethics into their curriculum."
