Statements of Support (36)

Yes, that would be wonderful, and I'll do my part.

Yes of course, it is with great pleasure that I would like to join the initiative to propose Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann medal 2025. Peter has contributed so many outstanding works to statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, data analytics, information theory etc. that I cannot imagine anybody who would deserve it more.

I very much support Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann medal. Peter has made numerous profound contributions to statistical physics and non-linear dynamics.

Peter Grassberger's contributions have deeply shaped contemporary statistical physics, with countless implications also for other apparently unrelated fields of knowledge and applications. I strongly support his nomination for the Boltzmann medal 2025.

I strongly support Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann medal 2025. I am following his work since more than 40 years, and I am impressed by his numerous original and important scientific results  in Statistical Mechanics and Nonlinear Dynamics.

Apart from his numerous scientific achievements over many different fields, Prof. Grassberger has always been a strong supporter of young scientists. His supervision style was very open, he gave a lot of freedom and let them follow their own ideas. But the door to his office was always open (both literally and figuratively). He also supported international scientists from countries where the conditions for science were less than ideal. He invited as many of them as he could as guest scientists providing both funding and encouragement. I would like to thank him for all these things that he did.

I strongly support the the candidature of Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann Medal 2025.

Peter's critical contributions to Statistical Physics and Nonlinear Dynamics qualify him for the Boltzmann Medal, and I warmly support his candidature. I wish you success in your initiative.

I am very glad to hear that you will nominate Peter Grassberger for the 2025 Boltzmann Medal.  Given Peter's lifetime achievements,  I strongly support this nomination.

It is my pleasure to support the candidature of Peter Grassberger who made major contributions in various domains of statistical physics:  theory of dynamical systems, cellular automata, Griffiths phases,  self-organized criticality, etc.

I most strongly support the nomination of Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann Medal. He has made enormously impactful seminal contributions across a broad range of subjects in statistical physics, particularly his notable foundational works in the area of chaos theory, perhaps the most prominent example of which is his body of work introducing the spectrum of fractal dimensions and entropies of chaotic attractors and non attracting chaotic sets.

I am glad to support the candidature of Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann Medal 2025, in recognition of his many important contributions to the statistical physics of nonequilibrium phenomena and of complex systems.

I think Peter Grassberger's contributions to computational statistical physics are so unique in their broad impact and importance, that I have absolutely no hesitation to support his nomination for the Boltzmann medal 2025 in the strongest possible terms.

Although I am not a driving force for the nomination of Peter Grassberger, I regard him (PG) as an eminent colleague, who would be a great recipient of this nomination. So you can count me in. In terms of his noticeable contributions, there is of course the work with Procaccia about strange attractors and their characterization, which is by now regarded as a classics. Another of his contributions that I found outstanding, and which was very helpful for my own work, was his 1997 PRE paper “Pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method…”, in which he developed methods to study rare events. The corresponding contribution appears to be highly regarded by the community (judging by its impact); and I am delighted to say that I really admire this contribution.

I support your nomination of Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann Medal.

I support the candidature of Peter Grassberger for the Boltzmann Medal 2025 in the strongest possible way, without any reservation. Based on his pioneering contributions to statistical physics and chaos theory (e.g., the idea of the correlation dimension), Peter Grassberger fully deserves this prestigious award.

I am happy to support your initiative to propose Peter Grassberger as a candidate for the 2025 Boltzmann Medal. He has in particular guided the field of statistical physics analysis of complex systems on the human scale (10^-6 to 10^6 meters: much larger than molecules, much smaller than astrophysical scales) for more than four decades, with a focus on proposing efficient computational schemes of practical relevance. For instance, he is not only known for the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm for estimating the fractal (correlation) dimension of chaotic systems but made many influential contributions to the study of phase transitions and critical phenomena, across human-scale application areas, from physics and biology to finance and climate science. He has also always been a critical and exact judge on distinguishing supporting evidence for (or against) emerging scientific or mathematical hypotheses from proving or disproving a hypothesis.

I wholeheartedly support the awarding of the Boltzmann medal to Peter Grassberger.  I can think of few other people more deserving. In my field of percolation, Peter has made profound and foundational contributions related to epidemics, the directed percolation universality class, precise derivation of thresholds for many systems, innovative computer algorithms, etc.  His work is very highly cited and he has had a huge impact on many other researchers including young people. I highly support that he be given this award for his work over nearly 60 years, first in high-energy theory, and in the last 40 years, in the field of statistical mechanics.
