Research interests:
I try to understand how nature processes information. I study this 'natural information processing' in complex systems by computational modeling and simulation as well as through formal methods. My work is applied to a large variety of disciplines with a focus on -but not limited to- Biomedicine. Recent work is on modeling the virology and epidemiology of infectious diseases, notably HIV, through Complex Networks, Cellular Automata and Multi-Agents. Recently in my work I try to build bridges to socio-dynamics. Currently I lead two large EU projects: ViroLab and DynaNets and supervise research from various NIH, NSF and NWO and Royal Academy projects.
Education: M.Sc. Chemistry (1983), M.Sc. Physics (1983), PhD. Computer Science (1988).
Honors and awards: Visiting Professor Santa Fe Institute on Complex Systems (1995), NNV Distinguished Professor Computational Physics (1996). Visiting Professor (1996, ITB Bandung, Indonesia), IEEE selected member TFCC (2005 -). Visiting professor (Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, 2005). Visiting Professor NTU (Singapore, 2009 - 2012), WorldComp 2009 award (Las Vegas, 2009), Leading Scientist Award (3.6 M€)(St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, 2010).
Publications and disseminations: I published over 460 papers, books and edited volumes. I have given over 20 Radio and TV interviews on various scientific results, including two documentaries of my work .
