Anirban Chakraborti is a Professor at Jawaharlal NehruUniversity, India. He gained his PhD in Physics in 2003 for a thesis entitled"Application of Statistical Physics to some Econophysics and OptimizationProblems" and in 2009 he was awarded an Indian National Science Academy YoungScientist Medal. His current research focuses on statistical physics and itsinterdisciplinary application to problems in complex systems in economic andsocial sciences, and combinatorial optimization.
