Aleksandra Walczak
Aleksandra Walczak received her PhD in physics at UCSD working on models of stochastic gene expression. After a graduate fellowship at KITP, she was a Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Fellow, focusing on applying information theory to signal processing in small gene regulatory networks. Currently she is a CNRS researcher at the École normale supérieure in Paris, interested mostly in statistical descriptions of the adaptive immune system. She was awarded the "Grand Prix Jacques Herbrand de l'Académie des sciences" in 2014, the bronze medal of CNRS in 2016, and APS Fellowship and the Prix Ricard of the French Physical Society in 2021.
