Theoretical physics, PhD in Composition, Department of Mathematics and Informatics; Università di Palermo, Italy
Maria Mannone is a theoretical physicist and a composer. She graduated in Italy, France (IRCAM-Paris VI Sorbonne), and in the US (University of Minnesota). Her research involves mathematics, music, and images. Author of books, she gave talks and invited lectures in America, Europe, and Asia, where she is collaborating with the Tohoku University for the development of a new musical instrument, the CubeHarmonic. Currently, she is a subject expert (“cultore della materia”) at the Department of Mathematics and Informatics in Palermo.
