Peter Grassberger

Peter Grassberger (born 17 May 1940) is a retired


professor who worked in statistical and particle Peter Grassberger
physics. He made contributions to chaos theory, where Born 17 May 1940 (age 84)
he introduced the idea of correlation dimension, a Vienna, Greater German Reich
means of measuring a type of fractal dimension of the (present-day Austria)
strange attractor. Nationality Austrian
Alma mater University of Vienna
Scientific career
Work
Fields Physics
Grassberger's early work focused on particle Institutions University of Calgary,[1]
phenomenology, in particular on the formulation of Forschungszentrum Jülich
formally exact equations for three-body scattering and Doctoral Walter Thirring, H. Pietschmann
bound state scattering (Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas advisor
equation).

While working at CERN, he realized that reggeon field theory can be viewed as a contact process in the
same universality class as directed percolation. After making this discovery, Grassberger turned his
attention to the studies of statistical physics, dynamical systems, sequential sampling algorithms, and
complex systems. His publications span a variety of topics including reaction-diffusion systems, cellular
automata, fractals, Ising model, Griffiths phases, self-organized criticality, and percolation.

He held long-term positions at the University of Wuppertal and at the Forschungszentrum Jülich
(Germany). Other positions that lasted between 2 years and 3 months were at CERN, at the Universities
of Kabul, Nice, Calgary, Rome and Utrecht, the Weizmann Institute, the Max Planck Institute for the
Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, the Istituto nazionale di ottica in Florence, and at the Institute
for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences in Zanjan, Iran.

In 2017 he received the EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize.[2]
