Prof. Mogens H. Jensen

Professor of Complex Systems and Biophysics

Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen

主讲人/Speaker:

Mogens H. Jensen is a leading physicist and professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, specializing in theoretical and statistical physics. His research explores complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, and biophysics, including chaos, turbulence, protein dynamics, and complex networks. With a Ph.D. in physics, he has advanced the understanding of fluctuations, phase transitions, and scaling behavior in disordered systems. Professor Jensen collaborates across disciplines, connecting physics with biology and information science. A dedicated educator, he teaches statistical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics, providing open-access lecture materials. His extensive publications in high-impact journals have shaped progress in biophysics, network theory, and statistical physics, establishing him as a key figure in complex systems research. His work continues to drive both theoretical and applied advancements in these fields.

摘要/Abstract:

Complex phenomena are found throughout nature, from dynamics in cells over ice crystals to flows in the oceans. These emergent patterns and behaviours can often be understood and described using complex dynamics, fractals and  chaos theory. In recent years, research has led to a new paradigm – that the dynamics of simple physical systems can give rise to complex behaviour. This is also seen in the biological world, where living systems – from ecosystems containing many species down to single cells and proteins – exhibit complex behaviour which can be successfully modelled by means of physical and mathematical principles and computer simulations. Complexity is also seen in human society, manifesting itself in activities on social media. Even financial markets show evidence of emergent complex dynamics. We discuss these phenomena starting out with the simple complex building block ending up in the behaviour of basic cellular organisms.
