Lab/Projects/Grants that I
coordinate:
- GIACS : General Integration of the Applications of
Complexity in Science
a NEST coordination action of about 20 research projects that mobilize groups from about 100 European universities
a large research project
for finding the fundamental laws governing the emergence and
survival of
adaptive collective
entities ("life") out of inanimate random noise.
- DAPHnet : Dynamic Analysis of Physiological
Networks: a project aimed at understanding human physiology by
integrating in a coherent conceptual structure medical
measurements that until now were considered
separately.
Past
Tasks: Head of the
Theoretical Physics Section at the Racah Institute of
Physics, Head of the Center for Microphysics and
Cosmology, Scientific Head of the
Awards: Levinson Prize,
Bantrel Prize at Caltech, J.F. Kennedy
Prize, Weizmann Fellowship, Keren
Kayemet Prize.
