The prestigious international conference of the European Physical Society was held on February 14-15 at the Wrocław University of Technology.This event is associated with the EPS Statistics and Nonlinear Physics section. Faculty of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
During the conference, the EPS Statistics Prize and the Nonlinear Physics Prize were awarded. These are published biennially by the European Physical Society (EPS) to recognize outstanding research achievements in statistical physics, nonlinear physics, complex systems and complex networks.
The 2023 award winners in the Experienced Scientist category are:
- Amnon Aharony (Tel Aviv University, Israel) was honored for his “original contributions to the application of renormalization group theory to critical phenomena, the classification of universality classes, fractals and percolation, and the theory of disordered magnetic systems.” Ta.
- Amos Maritan (University of Padova, Italy) for his “original contributions to the understanding of the physical principles underlying collective behavior in biological systems, including protein folding, DNA organization, ecosystems, and river networks.” praised.
Meanwhile, the award winners in the young researcher category are as follows.
- Ada Altieri (Université Paris-Cité) – For outstanding contributions to the theory of jamming succession and the interdisciplinary application of statistical physics to species-rich ecosystems.
- Patrick Pietzonka (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems) – For outstanding contributions to the statistics and thermodynamic uncertainty relationships of current fluctuations in active systems.
As per tradition, all award winners will speak during the conference. The detailed program can be found on the event website.
Three of our researchers are on the conference organizing committee. Professor Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (also director of the EPS Statistics and Nonlinear Physics Section), Professor Marcin Magdziarz, and Dr. Michał Balcerek.
