Dr. Adilson Motter, Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has been elected a 2020 Fellow of the Network Science Society.
The Network Science Society acts as a truly interdisciplinary body, aiming to unite a wide variety of researchers and stakeholders with interests in network science – ranging from physics to computer science, biology, social sciences, economics, and more.
The Society Fellows are recognized researchers who have made outstanding and significant contributions to network science research and to the community of network scientists. Annually, the Fellowship is awarded to up to 7 individuals on the basis of their exceptional life-long individual contributions to any area of network science research and to the community of network scientists (locally and globally).
Professor Adilson Motter was elected for his seminal contributions to the study of nonlinear dynamics on networks, including synchronization, cascading failures, synthetic rescues, control, symmetry phenomena, and applications to biological networks, metamaterials, microfluidics, and power grids.
