William Bialek

William Bialek (born 1960 in Los Angeles, California) is a theoretical biophysicist and a professor at Princeton University and The Graduate Center, CUNY. Much of his work, which has ranged over a wide variety of theoretical problems at the interface of physics and biology, centers around whether various functions of living beings are optimal, and (if so) whether a precise quantification of their performance approaches limits set by basic physical principles.〔(''Study Of Fruit Fly Embryo Development Could Change How Scientists Think About Life.'' ) Medical News Today, 21 Jul 2007〕〔(''Fruit fly research may 'clean up' conventional impressions of biology.'' ) Biology News Net, July 20, 2007.〕 Best known among these is an influential series of studies applying the principles of information theory to the analysis of the neural encoding of information in the nervous system, showing that aspects of brain function can be described as essentially optimal strategies for adapting to the complex dynamics of the world, making the most of the available signals in the face of fundamental physical constraints and limitations.〔(''Insect's Sensory Data Tells A New Story About Neural Networks.'' ) ScienceDaily (Mar. 12, 2008)〕
Bialek received his A.B. (1979) and Ph.D. (1983) degrees in Biophysics from the University of California at Berkeley. After postdoctoral appointments at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in the Netherlands and at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, he returned to Berkeley to join the faculty in 1986. In late 1990 he moved to the newly formed NEC Research Institute (now the NEC Laboratories) in Princeton. He is currently the John Archibald Wheeler/Battelle Professor in Physics at Princeton University, and a member of the multidisciplinary (Lewis–Sigler Institute ). In addition, he serves as Visiting Presidential Professor of Physics at The Graduate Center, CUNY.
Bialek has made contributions to shaping the education of the next generation of scientists, such as organizing the Princeton Lectures on Biophysics,〔''Princeton Lectures on Biophysics'', William Bialek. World Scientific Publishing Company (March 1993) ISBN 978-981-02-1326-8 and World Scientific Pub Co Inc (June 1993) ISBN 978-981-02-1325-1〕 a series of workshops that provided many young physicists with an introduction to the challenges and opportunities at the interface with biology. The textbook he coauthored, ''Spikes: Exploring the neural code'' 〔''Spikes: Exploring the Neural Code.'' Fred Rieke, David Warland , Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck and William Bialek. The MIT Press (June 25, 1999). ISBN 978-0-262-68108-7〕 has also been similarly used by many young physics students as an introduction to neuroscience. He is currently involved in a major educational experiment at Princeton to create a truly integrated and mathematically sophisticated (introduction to the natural sciences ) for first year college students. Most recently, he published ''Biophysics: Searching for Principles'', a textbook based on his course for PhD students.〔''Biophysics: Searching for Principles. ''W Bialek (Princeton University Press, 2012). http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9911.html〕
== Honors ==

Bialek received the 2013 Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience from the Society for Neuroscience. A member of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), he has also been honored for his teaching with the Phi Beta Kappa Prize and the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton.
