| Neil Johnson |
Neil Johnson heads up a new inter-disciplinary research group in Complexity
at University of Miami (Physics Dept.) looking at collective behavior and
emergent properties in a wide range of real-world Complex Systems: from physical,
biological and medical domains through to social and financial domains.
The common feature which makes Complex Systems so hard to understand, and yet
so fascinating to study, is that they all contain many interacting objects,
with strong feedback from both inside and outside the system, and are typically
far from equilibrium and exhibit extreme behavior. Neil's research group continues
to develop new interdisciplinary projects with other departments and schools within
the University of Miami (including medicine, life sciences and social sciences) and
with other institutions within U.S. and globally, e.g. Universidad de Los Andes in
Bogota, Colombia, with Luis Quiroga, Ferney Rodriguez and Roberto Zarama, and
the Chinese University of Hong Kong with Pak Ming Hui. Until summer 2007,
Neil was Professor of Physics at Oxford University (U.K.), having first joined
the faculty in 1992.
Neil did his BA at Cambridge University (U.K.) and PhD at Harvard University
as a Kennedy Scholar. He has published more than 200 research articles in
international journals, and has published two books: "Financial Market Complexity"
(Oxford University Press, 2003) and "Simply Complexity: A Clear Guide to Complexity
Theory" (Oneworld Publishing, 2009). He is joint Series Editor for the book series
"Complex Systems and Inter- disciplinary Science" by World Scientific Press, and is
the Physics Section Editor for the journal "Advances in Complex Systems". He is
Associate Editor for "Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination", and is
an Editorial Board member of "Journal of Computational Science". He previously served
as an editor of "International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance". He was
one of the founders of CABDyN (Complex Agent-Based Dynamical Systems) which is
Oxford University's interdisciplinary research center in Complexity Science, and
he co-directed CABDyN until leaving for Miami in 2007. He continues to be a member
of the CABDyN International Advisory Board at Oxford University. He also co-directed
Oxford University's interdisciplinary research center in financial complexity (OCCF).
