George Sugihara is a distinguished professor at the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, University of California, San Diego. He is a theoretical ecologist known for his foundational work in data analysis and complex systems, particularly in fisheries, medicine, and finance. Sugihara has gained renown for developing methods for forecasting chaotic systems, famously applied to the study of chaos in diatom populations at the Scripps Pier. His work has significantly contributed to understanding systemic risk and detecting early warning signs of critical transitions, collaborating with major institutions such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Bank of England. He has also contributed to fisheries management by developing a market-based incentive plan aimed at reducing wasteful bycatch and improving the forecasting of wild fish stocks. His current interests include neurobiology and genomics, with ongoing collaborations at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to utilize ecological data methods for addressing problems related to gene expression and cancer.
Administered by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Curricular groups include Climate-Ocean-Atmosphere (COAP), Geosciences (GEO), and Ocean Biosciences (OBP).
