Pavel Krapivsky (Personal webpage)Department of Physics, Boston University, Boston and Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, USAPavel Krapivsky is a research professor at Boston University and an external faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, studying strongly interacting many-particle systems - the goal is to understand collective behaviors that emerge when a macroscopically large number of strongly interacting particles move according to simple stochastic rules. Aggregation, adsorption, fragmentation, the kinetics of disordered systems, jamming, zero-temperature dynamics, and other irreversible processes are some of the processes. He applies concepts and techniques developed in non-equilibrium statistical physics and probability theory to social and biological networks, molecular motors, the dynamics of open quantum systems, the collective behaviors of quantum systems, and large deviations in lattice gases. |

Diego Rybski (Personal webpage)Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER), Dresden, Germany and Complexity Science Hub Vienna(CSH), Vienna, AustriaDiego Rybski is a research associate at the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) in Dresden. In addition, he is external faculty in the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna and a section editor at PLoS One (Urban Studies). Most recently, he was admitted to the Heisenberg-Program (German Research Foundation, DFG). Diego holds a PhD in Physics from Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen (Germany). He was a visiting scholar at Bar-Ilan University (Israel) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the City College of New York (CCNY). Between 2019 and 2021, he was a Feodor Lynen Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on cities and urban systems - specifically, on cities as complex systems, cities and climate change (mitigation/adaptation), and urban climate and the urban heat island effect. |
