Roger White Stoller (born January 21, 1954) is an American sculptor who specializes in large works integrating stainless steel, bronze and granite. He currently works out of studios in Portola Valley and San Jose, California.
Stoller was born and raised in Santa Monica, California. His early influences include architect and global thinker R. Buckminster Fuller and sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Stoller received his Bachelor of Science in product design from the Art Center College of Design in 1981.
Over the next fifteen years, Stoller founded the design firm Stoller Design and co-founded Praxis Design Associates, both specializing in product development for corporate clients. While working in the field he taught in the industrial design program at San Jose State University.
In 1996, Stoller left Praxis and established the sculpture firm Stoller Studio, committing himself to sculpture entirely. He currently sculpts full-time out of studios in Portola Valley and San Jose, California. [1]
Stoller Studio's ongoing production is in public art, abstract fine art works and applied art commissions. Stoller specializes in large-scale, signature works including materials such as stainless steel, bronze, granite, water, and light. His sculpture often abstractly reflects forms found in nature. "By incorporating and interpreting the underlying geometry nature is using, I walk in the tension between precise control and the sheer joy of spontaneous expression. It is the awesome power of nature and the exploration into the essence of life that fuel my passion; this is why I sculpt." -Roger Stoller [2]

Sophia Antipolis is a technology park in France. Much of the park falls within the commune of Valbonne, which lies northwest of Antibes and southwest of Nice, France. Gérald Hanning was the consultant advisor to the DATAR for this industrial/scientific complex created in 1970–1984; it houses primarily companies in the fields of computing, electronics, pharmacology and biotechnology. Several institutions of higher learning are also located here, along with the European headquarters of W3C and the ETSI. In the early years, one of the main challenges of Sophia Antipolis was to relate people and to create a sense of community. The "Human Factor" is what was to distinguish the Science and Technology Park in the world as a landmark of science, invention, innovation and research. It was to focus on building an international environment, creating an international community. This means taking into account and improving tenant interaction, networking and cross fertilization of ideas. The concept was that bringing together people from different intellectual horizons and "making" them meet, would bring added value and generate innovation. Many professional clubs were thus launched: The Sophia business angels club, the Sophia Nordic link, Art Sophia, Telecom Valley are just a few.
