Pere Colet Rafecas

Pere Colet Rafecas is an Associate Professor at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and a Research Professor at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) since 2007. His work spans statistical and nonlinear physics, with applications to optical systems, power grid stability, and human mobility analysis. He leads the Complex Systems and Sociotechnical Applications (CSSA) research group.

• PhD in Physics (UIB, 1991)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship at Georgia Tech (Fulbright, 1992-1994)

His research focuses on noise-sustained structures, synchronization of chaotic systems, and delay effects in optoelectronic devices. Recent work integrates geolocated data to model socio-technical systems, including renewable energy grids and urban mobility.

Key projects include:

• APASOS: Physics of socio-technical systems
• MdM-IFISC: Excellence grant for complex systems research
• SIESTA: Secure data analytics in European energy grids

He has supervised four completed PhD theses and currently mentors two PhD candidates, with publications in Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, and IEEE Transactions. His work has accumulated over 5,600 Google Scholar citations and a h-index of 35.
