On 1st October 2022, physicist and MBExC member Viola Priesemann has taken up a professorship in the field of theroretical physics at the University of Göttingen. Since 2017, she leads the research group “Theory of Neuronal Systems” at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self Organization (MPI-DS) and at the Institute for Dynamics of Complex Systems at the University of Göttingen. Her research focuses on the self-organization of complex networks, especially learning and the emergence of information processing in living neural networks, and the dynamics of pandemics and “infodemics” in social networks.
