معرفی
Rudolf Hanel is an Associate Professor at the Medical University of Vienna and a faculty member at the Complexity Science Hub. His interdisciplinary research bridges theoretical physics, complex systems, medical imaging, and socio-economic modeling. He is deeply involved in advancing the foundations of statistical mechanics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
His research interests include complex systems, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, information theory, medical robotics, and social physics. He investigates how systems evolve far from equilibrium, focusing on phase transitions, tipping points, and the emergence of structure. His work applies these principles to diverse domains such as firm dynamics, social cohesion, and pandemic response.
The recent trend in his publications reveals a strong focus on generalized entropy, sample space reduction, network-based social modeling, and practical applications in public health. His articles span foundational physics, computational medicine, and socio-economic systems, reflecting a unifying framework of complexity science across disciplines.
