Gabriel Cwilich
Professor Gabriel Cwilich is a condensed-matter-theory / statistical physicist, in the Physics Department of Yeshiva University. He works on the physics of disordered media, including at the nanoscale, and has a strong interest in the physics of complexity and computer simulations. He has also explored the connections between the origins of classical physics and the cultural world of the renaissance, and brings periodically American students to Italy to teach them about that. He has been lecturing in the US and in Latin America on the connection between science and theater and has been collaborating and advising several theater groups and foundations in NYC (among them the Epic Theater Ensemble) in projects that bring the world and ideas of science to the stage.
