Statistical & Quantum Thermodynamics, Nonadditive Statistical Mechanics, Bioinformatics & DNA Dynamics, Quantum Information, Hamiltonian Lattices & Nonlinear Dynamics

Dr. Thomas Oikonomou is a theoretical physicist and collaborating researcher with the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Greece. He received his PhD in Theoretical Physics in 2008 from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and NCSR “Demokritos”, where he worked on biofunctionality and statistical analysis of DNA sequences, and his MSc in General Relativity from Friedrich-Schiller University in Germany. He has held academic appointments at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan and VinUniversity in Vietnam, teaching and conducting research in physics, mathematics, and thermodynamics. His research spans statistical and quantum thermodynamics, nonlinear dynamics, bioinformatics, and complex systems, with particular emphasis on generalized entropy formalisms, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and long-range correlations in physical and biological systems. His work also includes studies of Hamiltonian lattices, parity-time symmetric systems, DNA dynamics, and quantum information. More recently, his research has focused on foundational aspects of thermodynamics and entropy, exploring the mathematical structure and physical consistency of generalized statistical theories.
