She has taught Landscape Architecture, History of Gardens, Theory of Urbanism, Urban Landscape, Spatial design at the Politecnico di Milano for 34 years, teaching Masters-level courses in the School of Architecture. Currently is professore per chiara fama (Professor “by acclaim”) in Landscape in the Politecnico di Milano’s School of Design. https://mlml.io/m/levin-brinkmann/ Thu, 30 Oct 2025 16:44:15 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/levin-brinkmann/ member Levin Brinkmann is a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany, where he completed his Ph.D. on the cultural implications of artificial intelligence. In Nature Human Behaviour, he led an interdisciplinary effort introducing the concept of “machine culture” to describe the multifaceted ways in which AI systems are transforming human culture. His work on the transmission of algorithmic cultural practices to humans has resonated beyond academia, receiving coverage in public media outlets such as Vice. https://mlml.io/m/mengchen-dong/ Wed, 29 Oct 2025 19:09:47 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/mengchen-dong/ member Mengchen Dong is a behavioral scientist and Research Scientist at the Center for Humans and Machines of the Max Planck Society. She earned her PhD in psychology and focuses on AI ethics and governance across interpersonal, organizational, and societal contexts. Her research fosters a nuanced understanding of human-AI interactions, highlighting the impact of personal circumstances and sociocultural backgrounds. https://mlml.io/m/matilde-ficozzi/ Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:21:23 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/matilde-ficozzi/ member Matilde Ficozzi (she/her) is a researcher working at the intersection of techno-anthropology, controversy mapping, and visual communication. She is a PhD student jointly at the University of Groningen and Aalborg University’s Techno-Anthropology Lab (TANTLab), where her work explores how to make social complex issues and public controversies more tangible to broader audiences through data visualizations. Matilde is currently part of the Grounding AI project, which translates specialized scientific research on artificial intelligence into a walkable, interactive experience, opening it up for public reflection and debate. https://mlml.io/m/dennis-yi-tenen/ Sat, 18 Oct 2025 19:22:42 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/dennis-yi-tenen/ member Dennis Yi Tenen is an Associate Professor of English at Columbia University, where he also co-directs the Narrative Intelligence Lab. His published work can be found in monographs including Plain Text: The Poetics of Computation (Stanford University Press, 2017), Literary Theory for Robots (W.W. Norton, 2024) and Author Function under contract with Chicago UP. His recent articles appear on the pages of Modern Philology, New Literary History, Amodern, boundary2, Computational Culture, and Modernism/modernity on topics that span literary theory, the sociology of literature, media history, and computational narratology. https://mlml.io/m/alexandros-haridis/ Sat, 18 Oct 2025 19:19:58 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/alexandros-haridis/ member Alexandros Haridis is Lecturer at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Fall 2023–) and faculty affiliate at the Graduate School of Design. He teaches and conducts research in the area of design computation. He received a PhD in Architecture: Design and Computation (2022) and dual Master of Science in Architecture Studies and in Computer Science (2017) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Alex’s current research shapes the twentieth-century emergence of an “aesthetic intelligence” in architecture influenced by theories of computability, digital information, aesthetic formalism, and advances in AI computing technology–an inquiry developed in journal articles and as the primary theme of his upcoming public exhibition, “Beyond Data-driven Aesthetics” (April–August 2026, MIT Keller Gallery, Cambridge, MA). https://mlml.io/m/stephen-osadetz/ Thu, 02 Oct 2025 08:44:35 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/stephen-osadetz/ member Stephen Osadetz works at the intersection of the digital humanities, literary studies, and intellectual history. A central thread of his work addresses the theoretical and practical challenges of searching vast digital archives. This research has led him to develop a search engine that enables exploratory, passage-level semantic search, opening not only more precise and comprehensive views of the historical record, but also the possibility of an approach to computational scholarship grounded in the the interpretive practices of the humanities. https://mlml.io/m/renan-teuman/ Fri, 26 Sep 2025 15:32:44 +0000 https://mlml.io/m/renan-teuman/ member Renan Teuman is an architect and drummer who independently engages in exhibition design, curatorial work, and publications. Born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, he is currently based in Boston, MA, and studying Design Engineering at Harvard. He is interested in informal design practices, such as improvised architecture, DIY culture, and autonomous housing, as opposed to the romantic idea of a designer solving problems of others.
