Profile
I am a Belgian engineer (U. Liege 1967). I turned toward theoretical studies of materials and condensed matter (M.Sc. Brown U. 1970) and toward statistical physics (PhD Temple U. 1973). I have been applying statistical physics ideas and methods in various fields encompassing biophysics financial and econo-physics meteorology linguistics socio-physics and many other non-equilibrium time-dependent systems beside pursuing investigations on condensed matter e.g. on liquids alloys magnets ceramics or superconductors. I have a widely open interest in interdisciplinary research.
After some visiting professorship at the Freie Univ. Berlin I returned to the University of Liege where I spent my whole career teaching and performing research on materials and in statistical physics. I founded the SUPRAS ""horizontal"" group of scientists belonging to various ULG laboratories (physics chemistry engineering) with fundamental or applied science interests on ceramics superconductors and magnetic materials. I initiated the GRASP reformed to become GRAPES (Group of Researchers for Applications of Physics in Economy and Sociology). Since Nov. 2014 I am part-time at the ULSB.
Research
I have contributed greatly to statistical mechanics through studying phase transitions growth (and decay) models in disordered systems which can be described along fractal and multi-fractal ideas. I have been much interested in describing non-linear and out-of-equilibrium phenomena through mathematical formalisms and simulation works. Recently I worked on scientometrics and linguistics. I'm also a collaborator of the Global Burden of Disease network. My work in econophysics and sociophysics is widely respected.
I have more than 600 publications in peer review journals and as peer review published communications at scientific meetings with more than 300 different coauthors; I have edited 9 books co-organised many international conferences directed many graduate student theses presented many scientific contributions at meetings or gave seminars and taught in many ""summer/winter schools"". I am or have been a member of the editorial board of various journals and often chosen as a reviewer. My Hirsch index is greater than 60.
I have been an expert for various financially granting bodies in Europe and USA and recognized through several honoring distinctions.
