Biography

Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen is a professor of mathematical physics, leader of the Centre for Complexity Science at Imperial College London and a Specially-Appointed Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

• Professor of Mathematical Physics, Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, Oct. 1999 -
• Specially-Appointed Professor, Innovative Research Institute, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Oct. 2016 –
• External faculty member Complexity Science Hub Vienna, March 2016 –
• Director of Post Graduate Studies, Department of Mathematics, Imperial, Oct. 2014 –
• Programme leader Centre for Complexity Science, Imperial, Oct. 2007 –

He works on the statistical mechanics of complex systems. He has worked on the dynamical properties of condensed matter systems and developed the Tangled Nature model of co-evolutionary dynamics. At present, this framework is being applied in several fields including modeling of socio-economical sustainability, finance, cultural evolution, innovation, cell diversity in cancer tumour growth and more. In 1998 he wrote a book on Self-organized Criticality, which helped to focus this field. His work together with Paolo Sibani on record dynamics and its relevance to a surprisingly broad range of complex system, including macroevolution and the dynamics of ant colonies, have attracted interest from researchers from biology to materials science. This work forms the basis for the book on Record Dynamics by Sibani and Jensen 2013. Jensen has worked on brain dynamics and structure by analysing fMRI and EEG data. He is also involved in an exciting project together with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama concerning quantitative analysis of EEG timeseries recorded on audience and performers during improvised or non-improvised classical music.
