Tobias Galla is a staff scientist at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC) in Spain, jointly run by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Balearic Islands. Galla holds a degree in physics from the University of Münster in Germany and a PhD from the University of Oxford in the UK, where he worked with David Sherrington, a pioneer of spin-glass theory. His research focuses on the statistical mechanics of stochastic and disordered complex systems. This includes models of complex ecological communities, agent-based systems subject to intrinsic and extrinsic fluctuations, and biological and social populations.
