Biography

[edit]

Shraiman earned a PhD from Harvard in 1983 and did postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago in the James Franck Institute. In his early work, Shraiman addressed how dynamical systems transition to chaos and how patterns form in viscous flows and dendritic growth.[3][4] He moved to Bell Labs, where he worked on quantum materials,[5][6] then later became a professor at Rutgers University in 2002 and the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2004. He has advanced the understanding of turbulent fluids,[7][8] and since the 1990s, his work has built connections between statistical physics and biological problems.[9] In particular, his research has pointed to the interplay between mechanics and morphogenesis, which addresses the problem of "growth and form" in animal development,[10][11] and developed models to describe evolutionary dynamics in populations such as influenza.[12][13] He became a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2011.[14]
