Jorge Soto-Andrade is a professor of mathematics at the Universidad de Chile.[1], and associate researcher of the Center for Advanced Research in Education of Chile[2]. He is an interdisciplinary scholar that has contributed in several areas including pure mathematics, systems biology[3], cognitive science (where he collaborate extensively with Francisco Varela[4]), and didactics of mathematics[5] He is an advocate of enactivism and metaphorization, and has been a significant figure in the development of Mathematics in Chile. It is remarkable is that he has collaborated with more than 50 scholars, some of them well-known such as Athel Cornish-Bowden and Francisco Varela, but also that he has contributed with a significant part of the researchers dedicated to mathematics education in Chile since the 90s. Therefore, his influence in Chilean academia is profound, for which he has been hommaged several times[6][7]
Short biography
Obtaibned a B.Sc. in mathematics at the University of Chile in 1967. He received two Doctorates in Mathematics from the University of Paris University of Paris-Sud in 1970 and 1975 respectively[8].
He is Professor of Mathematics at the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science and Associate Researcher at the Institute of Advanced Study in Education of the University of Chile.
Contributions
Mathematics
He made significant contributions in Representation theory[9] [10] as well as in stochastic processes[11]
Systems Biology and Cognition
He has worked in the theory of autopoiesis and self-reference with Francisco Varela (one of the founders of the theory of Autopoiesis toegether with Humberto Maturana)[12] as well as in neurophenomenology[13]. He has produced as well various advances for interfacing Autopoiesis, (M,R) systems and anticipatory systems developed by Robert Rosen (biologist), and other system biological frameworks[14][15][16]. He also made some contributions to neurophenomenology
Metaphors and Didactic of Mathematics
He has produced several connections between metaphoric reasoning and mathematical thinking[17][18][19] and has combined or made synergetic such research with his work in cognitive and systems biology in a number of applications related to enaction and STEAM education[20][21]
Relation to eastern philosophy
He has been involved in zen meditation and connected his research with eastern philosophy[22], being an expert in buddhist and sufi philosophies and a zen meditation practitioner.
