Ofer Biham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ofer Biham is a faculty member at the Racah Institute of Physics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. Biham received his Ph.D. for research on quasiperiodic systems at the Weizmann Institute of Science, under the supervision of Prof. David Mukamel.

In later years, Biham was involved in the development of methods for the calculation of unstable periodic orbits in chaotic systems and models for efficient simulations of traffic flow.

The focus of Biham's current research is on the development of computational methodologies for the simulation of stochastic processes in interstellar chemistry and in genetic networks.
