Zoran Konkoli

Zoran Konkoli is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) within the Electronic Materials division. His research spans interdisciplinary areas including non-equilibrium statistical physics, theoretical cell biology, and unconventional computing. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from Gothenburg University and has held postdoctoral positions at Chalmers, NORDITA, and the Applied Physics Department at Chalmers.

His academic journey includes roles such as assistant professor in Biological Physics (2002–2006) and a permanent position as Associate Professor since 2007. Konkoli’s research focuses on diffusion-controlled reactions, theoretical cell biology (e.g., HIV latency mechanisms), and computational models like cellular automata and memristor networks. His work intersects condensed matter theory, statistical physics, and computer science.

Key projects include the EU-funded RECORD-IT (2015–2018) and SYMONE (2012–2015), exploring reservoir computing and biomimetic systems. He collaborates widely, emphasizing interdisciplinary networks to advance theoretical ideas into practical applications. His expertise includes mathematical logic, measure theory, and approximation theorems, reflecting his broad academic interests.
