Abstract
Since 1999 stimulated by our study of robustness and efficiency of phage lambda gene switch in systems biology a new dynamical framework for non-equilibrium processes has emerged, which may be named evolution mechanics. It appears to be a direct but natural quantification of what found by Darwin and Wallace in 1858, which had resisted similar efforts of generations of theoretical scientists and applied mathematicians. Evolution mechanics is powerful. For example, it is very likely a key ingredient to explain AI. I will discuss this development, stress a few mathematical issues, such as dynamical structure decomposition and a new type of stochastic integration - Ao process.
Speaker Intro
敖平教授目前是四川大学教授、教育部教育部长江奖励计划特聘教授,入选上海领军人才,上海干人,曾任国家 “973计则” 首席科学家.
敖平教授于1983年本科毕业于北京大学物理系,后由李政道CUSPEA项目资助赴美留学,
师从AJ Leggett(2003年超导、超流物理诺奖得主)于1990年获美国伊利诺大学香槟分校 (UIUC)物理学博士;1990-1994年,在美国华盛顿大学物理系从事博士后研究,师从DJ Thouless(2016年拓扑物理诺奖得主).
在瑞典工作后他1999年转入系统生物、系统医学, 与LE Hood (人类基因工程发起人之一,美国四院院士,Lasker奖得主等)等探索癌症发生发展的系统生物/医学机理及其在临床大健康等的应用.
教平教授已发表研究论文约150篇,跨越物理生物、医学、工程等领域. 在生物领域,他独立澄清了演化生物学中两个重要的基本理论问题,从而建立演化力学; 对复杂疾病机理他首先提出癌症产生和发展的分子网络内源性理论,并发展了相应的数学、计算工具,希望对新药发现/老药新用、新治疗方案、诊断和预后工具等上做出成果.
