- This year’s Summer School - Conference honours the overall scientific contribution of Kyriakos Hizanidis, Professor Emeritus at NTUA
31st Summer School - Conference "Dynamic Systems and Complexity"
In our world, there are numerous intricate and complex dynamic systems characterized either by unpredictable temporal evolution or by exceptionally intricate spatial structure. Examples include brain function, the development of social networks, the financial system, climate change, ecosystem survival, the occurrence of geophysical phenomena (e.g., earthquakes), and interactions among atoms and molecules. Over recent years, the science devoted to studying dynamic and complex systems has advanced remarkably, aiming to understand their shared features and specific properties. Research focuses on analytic and numeric methods drawn from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, fractals, information theory, complex networks and other scientific fields such as statistical physics and computer science.

Kyriakos Hizanidis
“This year’s Summer School honors the overall scientific contribution of Professor Kyriakos Hizanidis, one of the oldest members of the group of professors who taught at our Schools, explaining in a simple way many fundamental concepts of Nonlinear Physics. K. Hizanidis holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, 1982) and a Diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (1975). He taught at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens from 1988 to 2019, and has been Professor Emeritus since 2020, with continuous active research activity. His research contributions span a range that includes plasma physics and thermonuclear fusion, electron beam and accelerator physics, nonlinear waves and solitons in photonics, as well as nonlinear dynamical systems. K. Hizanidis has supervised the work of many doctoral students, while his research work has been published in more than 200 publications in international scientific journals and has received excellent international recognition”.
