About the Author :
Krastan B. Blagoev is a Program Director at the US National Science Foundation and is a Research Scientist at the Johns Hopkins University, Department of Biophysics. His research is focused on applying methods of non-equilibrium physics and control theory to gain insight in the function and architecture of living systems. His research has been featured in Physics Today, Physics World, Science Daily, Aznei-News. Blagoev is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Heworked on the creation and establishment of the International Graduate Student Research Network, The International Physics of Living Systems Teachers Network, and the Cancer Convergence Education Network. Herbert Levine is a Distinguished Professor of Physics and Bioengineering at Northeastern Univ.. He is a pioneer in using theory to expand experimental findings and in the development of well-parameterized computational models that can be used to garner new insights into biological and biomedical systems. Levineis an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an elected member of the National Academy of Science, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and past chair of the American Physical Society's Division of Biological Physics. He is the author of more than 300 peer-reviewed publications. His research has been featured in the New York Times, Scientific American, the Today Show and many other popular science forums. Levine is a co-director of Center for Theoretical Biological Physics, an NSF-sponsored effort to apply physical science to the living world. Also, Dr. Levine is the coordinator of an international network of graduate students conducting research into the Physics of Living Systems.
