Astero Provata PhD

Dr. Provata obtained her Bachelor Degree in Physics from the University of Athens in 1985. In the same year she joint the Physics Department of Boston University, where she obtained a Masters degree in Physics in 1987 and a PhD degree in Statistical Physics in 1991. At Boston University she did analytical and numerical studies of Anomalous Diffusion and Growth processes as a result of the influence of Long Range Correlations. After completing her PhD she accepted a postdoctoral position at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, where she worked for 4 years in the group of Prof. G. Nicolis. During this period she worked in the field of Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics, with specific applications in Reaction-Diffusion systems. In 1995 he jointed the Institute of Physical Chemistry of NCSR "Demokritos", as a Researcher C level (Junior Researcher).
Currently she holds the position of Researcher A (Research Director) at the Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, NCSR "Demokritos", is the Director the STAT-DYN laboratory and is vice-chairman of the Complex Systems and Applications (COSA) Network, which is a multidisciplinary network of the Greek scientists working in the field of Complex Systems.
