  For two months part of the EON project. EON (ELSI Origins of life Network) was a project providing space for researchers with interest for theories on the origins of life. In Tokyo, Manuel worked on computational models of pre-biotic chemistries studying properties necessary for the formation of life as we know it and life as it could be. In this project he used a mix of control and information theories, trying to identify measures describing the information flows and storage of living systems… Show more For two months part of the EON project.
