Professor Leone Fronzoni is the scientific organizer of Domus Galileaina and of the Center for Complexity of the University of Pisa . Professor Fronzoni is a pioneer of analog simulation, and his directions contributed the researchers in the field of nonlinear stochastic physics to shed light into intriguing issues such as the linear response theory and the theory of stochastic resonance.

Professor Dan Mauldin is an internationally known Mathematician; in part he is famous for his contributions to transfinite and random sets, as well as to nonlinear dynamic systems theory, fractal sets and ergodic theory. He has an Erdös number one, which is to say, he collaborated with Paul Erdös, probably the most prolific mathematician of all time after Euler, and who invented random graph theory in the middle of the last century. The modern theory of complex networks, which is the basic theoretical tool of the Center for the project on EEG's and neuron synchronization (see the Center's web page) rests on the pioneer work of Erdös.
Professor Mauldin, in collaboration with Dr. Bruce West, the Founding Director of the Center, obtained a $ 600,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The research done under this grant generated a number of publications and Professor Mauldin is one of the invited speakers to an important Conference in Germany . where he will talk about a theory that emerged from that inter-departmental cooperation.

Dr. Menconi is a mathematician who has been contributing significant progresses in this field: entropy in chaotic and weakly chaotic dynamical systems, algorithmic Information theory, data compression, information content in experimental time series (ATTIS project), DNA analysis, gene-finding, pattern recognition, phylogeny.
|
As a visiting scholar of UNT Center for Nonlinear Science she established a link between the methods of statistical analysis proposed by the Denton Center and the mathematics of data compression. During her visit to the Center the 9-11 tragedy occurred. As a consequence, a large part of the Center activities has been devoted to the application of these methods to the war against terrorism.

Dr. Paradisi is a frequent visitor of the Center for Nonlinear Science. He is an expert in the field of fractional derivatives, and, as a CMS co-worker he gave fundamental contributions to the development of techniques of analysis for the detection of non-ergodic and non-Poisson events that are the key ingredient for the transport of information from one to another complex system .
