Keith Patarroyo studied physics at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and now is a student at Université de Montréal pursuing his MSc in Computer Graphics. His research interests are in Digital Physics, Discrete Differential Geometry, Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics, and the Formalization of Mathematics. He has been interested in discrete models of physics since the beginning of his career, first working from a mathematical perspective(FEM), then from a physical perspective (Lattice Boltzmann), and now with a Computer Science perspective(Discrete Differential Geometry). Currently, he works on two projects, the first of discrete differential geometry for elasticity and the second related to non-equilibrium statistical physics and optimal transport to understand the nature of entropy and information in the physical world.

In the Wolfram Winter School 2020-2021 he worked on a model to generate macroscopic elasticity from microscopic rules using a graph rewriting system.
