Dr. Claudio Cioffi-Revilla Recognized by ResearchGate

ResearchGate, a site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators, has recognized Dr. Claudio Cioffi-Revilla for his achievement as a frequently referenced academic resource.  “With 43 new reads, Claudio's project updates were the most read project updates from his institution,” according to ResearchGate.

Dr. Cioffi-Revilla, University Professor Emeritus and founder and former director of the Center for Social Complexity, remains active in his field, publishing regularly, presenting at national and international forums, and recently named Courtesy Professor at Florida International University in Miami, FL. 

He is also currently wrapping up a book on the nabladot calculus.  “It solves a long-standing mathematical problem that apparently has been ‘hiding in plain sight’ for the past few centuries since the classical calculus was invented by Newton and Leibniz,” Cioffi-Revilla says. “The problem is that the classical or ‘infinitesimal’ calculus—at the basis of modern science and engineering—is appropriate for scientific models of phenomena that are basically ‘continuous.’

“However, in science many phenomena are both continuous and discrete, meaning they follow laws that contain whole, ‘natural’ numbers (like 1, 2, 20, 4000, or -5 and -150, not only numbers with decimals like 3.1416 or 2.71),” Cioffi-Revilla concludes. “The nabladot calculus applies to these so-called hybrid models and patterns in science, so there are many applications that range from the science of networks to quantum science as well as the human and environmental sciences.”
