Our world is full of complex systems characterised by randomness and disorder. Around 1980, Giorgio Parisi discoveredhidden patterns in disordered complex materials . His discoveries are among the most important contributions to the theory of complex systems. They make it possible to understand and describe many different and apparently entirely random materials and phenomena, not only in physics but also in other, very different areas, such as mathematics, biology, neuroscience and machine learning. Giorgio Parisi – Facts – 2021 - NobelPrize.org Giorgio Parisi Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (born 4 August 1948) is an Italian theoretical physicist , whose research has focused on quantum field theory , statistical mechanics and complex systems . His best known contributions are the QCD evolution equations for parton densities, obtained with Guido Altarelli , known as the Altarelli–Parisi or DGLAP equations, the exact solution of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses, the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation describing dynamic scaling of growing interfaces, and the study of whirling flocks of birds . [1] He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Klaus Hasselmann and Syukuro Manabe for groundbreaking contributions to theory of complex systems , in particular "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales". .......... statistical physics , field theory , dynamical systems , mathematical physics and condensed matter physics , where he is particularly known for his work on spin glasses and related statistical mechanics models originating in optimization theory and biology. [5] In particular, he made significant contributions in terms of systematic applications of the replica method to disordered systems, even though the replica method itself was originally discovered in 1971 by Sir Sam Edwards . [6] elementary particle physics , in particular to quantum chromodynamics string theory . Together with Guido Altarelli, he introduced the so-called Dokshitzer–Gribov–Lipatov–Altarelli–Parisi equations. [7] In the field of fluid dynamics he is known for having introduced, together with Uriel Frisch , multifractal models to describe the phenomenon of intermittency in turbulent flows. [8] He is also known for the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation modelling stochastic aggregation. [9] From the point of view of complex systems, he worked on the collective motion of animals (such as swarms and flocks). He also introduced, together with other Italian physicists, the concept of stochastic resonance in the study of climate change. [10] Giorgio Parisi - Wikipedia "Quantum chromodynamics". Isn't that Sheldon Cooper's field? Guess he's a climate scientist too though he doesn't like the outdoors.
