Leonhard M. HORSTMEYER (Personal webpage )Basic Research Community for Physics, LeipzigLeonhard Horstmeyer is a theoretical physicist and complexity theorist. He was born in Hamburg, Germany, on 19 August 1987. After studies in Physics at King's College and Imperial College London he obtained a master in theoretical and mathematical physics from the LMU and TU Munich and a master in mathematics from the University of Cambridge. He completed his PhD under the supervision of Professor Jost at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Leipzig) on the dimensional reduction of smooth dynamical systems. He was then a PostDoc in the group of Stefan Thurner at the medical university of Vienna and a resident faculty at the complexity science hub Vienna (CSH). Now he is a member of the Basic Research Community of Physics (BRCP). He works on coarse grained descriptions of stochastic network dynamical systems with a focus on precursors of critical transitions. He also investigates moment closure techniques and closure measures for the dimensional reduction of stochastic dynamical systems.

Andrij ROVENCHAK (Personal webpage )Lviv National University, Faculty of Physics, Department for Theoretical Physics, UkraineAndrij Rovenchak was born 12 November 1976 in Lviv. He graduated from the Faculty of Physics, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, in 1998. He completed his PhD in 2003 and later habilitated in 2016, with his thesis titled: Bose-statistics and fractional types of statistics in the manybody theory and related problems. Rovenchak currently holds a position as an Associate Professor at the Department for Theoretical Physics, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. His research interests include statistical physics; Bose–Einstein condensation; systems obeying fractional statistics; quantitative methods in linguistics; studies of writing systems; history of science. He has published 75 articles and 10 books, in particular: Physics of Bose-systems (Lviv University Press, 2015); African writing systems of the modern age: the Sub-Saharan region (Athinkra LLC, 2011; with J. Glavy). |

Juan J. RUIZ-LORENZO (Personal webpage )Physics Department and Institute for Advanced Scientific Computation, Extremadura UniversityJuan J. Ruiz-Lorenzo is a statistical physicist who specializes in critical phenomena. Born in Ciudad Real, Spain, on 6 January 1967. He completed, in 1993, his PhD at the Complutense University (Madrid), with the excellence price, on the non-perturbatives properties of Higgs boson. He spent the next 4 years in Rome working in the Prof. Parisi's group, initially with a Spanish grant (94-96) and later with a Marie Curie (individual) Research Fellow (96-98). In 1999 he joined the Statistical Physics Group of Extremadura University. He has worked on lattice field theory, disordered systems (spin models, mainly spin glasses), fluctuating surfaces and dynamics of fronts. He has published more than 120 papers on quantum field theory and statistical mechanics of ordered and disordered systems. He is a member of the JANUS collaboration which designs and uses special purpose supercomputers (based on FPGAs) in numerical simulations of spin glasses. He has been awarded with the (senior) Excellence Prize to Research Trajectory (2018) by the University of Extremadura. |
