He holds a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, USA, and an M.Sc. degree in Theoretical Physics from the University of Wroclaw, Poland. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal Philosophies and President of the International Society for the Study of Information (IS4SI). In his more than forty years of work in several universities of Europe, America, and Asia, he has taught courses in mathematics, logic, statistics, physics, and information science. His research in several disciplines outside of mathematics has adapted to his multiple roles in the academic community to include topics such as development and implementation of university curricula, intercultural communication, and international education, but the primary theme of his more recent publications is the theoretical, mathematical study of information and symmetry and the related philosophical reflection on these concepts.
