Réka Albert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Réka Albert (born March 2, 1972 in Reghin , Romania ) is Professor of Physics and Biology at Pennsylvania State University . She is known for the Barabási-Albert model and her research on scale-free networks .

life and work

Albert received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) in 1995 and 1996. She received her Ph.D. in 2001. at the University of Notre Dame . She began a postdoc at the University of Minnesota with Hans G. Othmer and moved to Pennsylvania State University in 2003 .

Creation of a graph using the Barabási-Albert model .

Together with Albert-László Barabási , she developed the Barabási-Albert model , the most important model for creating scale-free random graphs that are used to explain the small world phenomenon . She also applied graph theory concepts to the fault tolerance of the World Wide Web or the North American power grid . At the presentation of the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award of the American Physical Society , her important publications on the investigation of the structural properties of complex networks were recognized.

In addition, she deals with the dynamic modeling of biological networks and systems biology . She was able to prove that the stability of some ecosystems depends on a few species . She works on signal transduction in plant cells, on epithelial-mesenchymal transition and on the role of cytotoxic T cells in leukemia . To do this, she also applies concepts from network theory, such as Boolean networks .

She serves as editor for Physical Review E , New Journal of Physics and IET Systems Biology as well as on the advisory boards of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute and the Duke Center for Systems Biology.

Honors

Albert became the 2004 Sloan Research Fellowships awarded and received a 2007 NSF Career Award and the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2011. It was proposed by the Department of 2009 Biophysics elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society. She has been a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in the field of biology since 2016 .
