![]() This led to the development of realistic quantitative models for the structural and functional design of organisms based on underlying universal principles. ![]() His long-term fascination in general scaling phenomena evolved into a highly productive collaboration on the origin of universal scaling laws that pervade biology from the molecular genomic scale up through mitochondria and cells to whole organisms and ecosystems. Prior to joining the Santa Fe Institute as a Distinguished Professor in 2003, he was the leader, and founder, of the high energy physics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he is one of only approximately ten Senior Fellows. West served as Santa Fe Institute President from July 2005 through July 2009. West received his BA from Cambridge University in 1961 and his doctorate from Stanford University in 1966, where he returned in 1970 to become a member of the faculty. His primary interests have been in fundamental questions in physics, especially those concerning the elementary particles, their interactions and cosmological implications. ![]() Geoffrey West is one of the leading scientists working on a scientific model of cities. ![]()
