Biography
Professor Celso Grebogi is the Sixth Century Chair at King’s College, University of Aberdeen, UK. He is the Founding Director of the Institute for Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology, whose work in systems biology and complex systems became leading in UK. He is the Co-founder of the Aberdeen-Lanzhou-Tempe Research Centre, whose work is in the new interdisciplinary field: Relativistic Quantum Chaos. He has been an External Scientific Member (Mitglied) of the Max-Planck-Society since 1998. He got his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Maryland in 1978, Postdoc in Physics and Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley in 1978-1981. He was at the University of Sao Paulo as Professor of Physics, and, before that, with the University of Maryland as Professor of Mathematics. He is a leading expert in chaotic and complex nonlinear dynamics, including fractal geometry and complex networks. He has made a huge impact in the area of control of chaos. His seminal paper was selected by Physical Review Letters as a milestone in the past 50 years. He was awarded the Citation Laureate - Researcher of Nobel Class - in 2016, followed by a Motion to that effect supported by the Scottish Parliament. His scientific accomplishments include over 500 publications and over 500 invited talks. He received numerous distinctions, including multiple Doctor Honoris Causa and many Honorary Professorships, the Humboldt Senior Prize, Fulbright Fellowship, and Toshiba Chair as a World-renown Scholar, the Lagrange Award, the Max-Planck-Society Badge of Honour, and the James Yorke Award. He is Fellow in various scientific societies, including the Royal Society of Edinburgh, The World Academy of Sciences, the Academia Europaea, the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, The American Physical Society and the UK Institute of Physics. He has 32,000 citations and h-index = 84 in Scopus, and 47,000 citations and h-index = 96 in Google Scholar.
