Dr. Christoph Adami

1
Speaker Profile
A rare figure at the intersection of physics and biology. He is a Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics as well as of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University. He began as a “classical” nuclear physicist and became one of the pioneers of computational biology.
His scientific credo fits into a single phrase: “life is information that maintains itself.” It is precisely this approach that ties together all of his seemingly disparate interests - from the evolution of drug resistance in viruses to the origins of cellular communication and the emergence of intelligence. Adami was among the first to apply Claude Shannon’s information theory to molecular biology and the origin of life, and he calculated the probability of the spontaneous emergence of the first “replicators” literally from first principles. His work reaches far beyond a narrow specialization: he has studied game theory (his paper “Winning isn’t everything” on strategies in the “prisoner’s dilemma” caused a considerable stir in the science press), the evolution of cooperation, and has even used his digital organisms to search for universal “biomarkers” of life that would help astrobiologists recognize alien life forms unlike those on Earth.

Interesting Facts about Dr. Christoph Adami
1. He is a “defector” from physics to biology
He started out as a nuclear physicist: he earned a Diplom in physics from the University of Bonn, as well as an MA (Master of Arts) and a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from Stony Brook University (1991). Today he is a professor in two worlds at once - both biology and physics.
2. He created life inside a computer
His flagship project is Avida, a simulator of artificial life used to study evolutionary biology - along with the application of information theory to physical and biological systems. These are self-replicating digital organisms that genuinely mutate, compete, and evolve on screen in real time.
3. He worked at NASA and studied black holes
He was a Principal Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he conducted research on the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. He has a paper with an almost detective-story title - “Paradox No More: How Stimulated Emission of Radiation Preserves Information Absorbed by Black Holes” — in a volume on the black-hole information paradox (Springer, 2025).
4. He grows “artificial brains” on a supercomputer
For one of his studies of intelligence, Adami’s lab created “artificial brains” on MSU’s high-performance computer. He studies how complex behavior - and even intelligence -arises from simple rules.
5. He is regarded as a “founding father” of an entire field
On July 31, 2019, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for Artificial Life - essentially, recognition for his contribution to the very creation of the “artificial life” field.
6. His honors
He was elected a Fellow of the AAAS (2012) and a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2017), and was awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal. Being a Fellow in both the biological and the physical communities is a great rarity. In 2025 he received the Beal Outstanding Faculty Award from Michigan State University.
7. He has more than 18,000 citations across four different fields
More than 18,000 citations, spanning artificial intelligence, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and information theory. This is a measure of just how interdisciplinary his contribution is.
8. His recent book reimagines Darwin
“The Evolution of Biological Information: How Evolution Creates Complexity, from Viruses to Brains” was published by Princeton University Press on January 16, 2024. His radical thesis: it is information, not the DNA double helix, that will determine what life looks like elsewhere in the Universe.
