Réka Albert (born 2 March 1972[1]) is a Romanian-Hungarian scientist. She is a distinguished professor of physics and adjunct professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University[2][3] and is noted for the Barabási–Albert model and research into scale-free networks and Boolean modeling of biological systems.

Education

[edit]

Albert was born in Reghin, a city in Mureș County, located in the historical region of Transylvania, in the north-central part of Romania. She obtained her B.S. and M.S. degrees from Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 1995 and 1996, respectively. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame in 2001.[3]

Work

[edit]

Albert is co-creator, together with Albert-László Barabási, of the Barabási–Albert model for generating scale-free random graphs via preferential attachment (see Barabási–Albert model).

Her work extends to networks in a very general sense, involving for instance investigations on the error tolerance and attack vulnerability of complex networks[4] and its applications to the vulnerability of the North American power grid.[5][6]

Her current research focuses on dynamic modeling of biological networks and systems biology.

Awards

[edit]

Albert was selected as a Sloan Research Fellow in 2004 and was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2007. She was named Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2010.[7] One year later she received the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award.[2][8] In 2016 she was inducted as an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[9] She was elected Fellow of the Network Science Society in 2018[10] and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2019.[11]
