Overview
Professor Dietrich Stauffer
is one of the most creative scientists
in the field of statistical physics and
its interdisciplinary applications.
His research activity covers statistical and computational physics as
well as interdisciplinary applications of methods and models of
physics in biology, economy, social sciences and linguistics. He was
one of pioneers of using supercomputers in statistical physics. He
worked or he is still working on phase transition and superfluidity of
helium, nucleaton theory, percolation, Ising-like models, cellular
automata, growing surfaces, ageing processes, extinction of species,
models of market dynamics, complex network dynamics, opinion
dynamics, language evolution, Schelling models of segregation and
several other subjects. His research output comprises a collection of
more than 600 refereed journal papers and six books. His works have
been cited more than 20 000 times and, perhaps more importantly,
decades after their original publication.
Professor Stauffer was a member of editorial board of many journals
including Journal of Physics A, European Physical Journal B,
Physica A, Journal de Physique, Journal of Statistical Physics, Theory
of Biosciences, Journal of Aerosol Science, International Journal of
Modern Physics C, Physics World, Computing in Science and
Engineering and Annual Reviews of Computational Physics.
Among the recognitions for Dietrich Stauffer accomplishments is a
Doctorate Honoris Causa from University of Liege.
Professor Stauffer did a lot for developing international scientific
collaboration. He gained recognition for both his research and a lot of
friends.
To celebrate Professor Stauffer's retirement, we have organized this
Symposium on Dynamics of Complex Systems.
