Talk:Boris Shraiman

TEXT MAIN BODY (REVISED TEXT ) Paragraph 1: Boris Shraiman is an American theoretical physicist working on Statistical Physics and the Physics of Living Matter. He is a Permanent Member of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), and the Susan F. Gurley Professor of Theoretical Physics and Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).[KEEP CITATION https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/shraiman]

Education (REPLACES Biography): Born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), [WIKI LINK] Russia, in 1956, Shraiman received a BS from the University of Lowell [WIKI LINK] in 1978, and a PhD from Harvard [WIKI LINK] in 1983. He then did postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago's [WIKI LINK] James Franck Institute.[WIKI LINK] In his early work, Shraiman addressed how dynamical systems transition to chaos and how patterns form in viscous flows [WIKI LINK] and dendritic growth.[KEEP CITATION B.

Gurley Chair in Theoretical Physics and Biology. [Citation: https://www.on.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/friends/gurley_shraiman/]

He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1998,[citation: https://www.aps.org/programs/honors/fellowships/archive-all.cfm?initial=S&year=2020&unit_id=&institution=] and elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2011.[13][Citation: https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/news?year=All&title=&page=7]

Research: (MOVE THIS TEXT DOWN FROM BIOGRAPHY) Shraiman has advanced the understanding of turbulent fluids,[6][7] and since the 1990s, his work has built connections between statistical physics and biological problems.[8] In particular, his research has pointed to the interplay between mechanics and morphogenesis, which addresses the problem of "growth and form" in animal development,[9][10] [Citation: https://www.physics.umass.edu/events/2020-10-29-physical-morphogenesis] and developed models to describe evolutionary dynamics in populations such as influenza.[11][12]
