Summary
John Rundle is a Distinguished Professor of Physics and Earth & Planetary Science at UC Davis with a decades-spanning career in seismology, complex systems, and risk forecasting. He combines foundational academic leadership—visiting roles at Caltech and JPL, external professorship at the Santa Fe Institute, and service on the Southern California Earthquake Center advisory council—with interdisciplinary work in natural hazards, forecast validation, and quantitative finance. A Fellow of APS, AGU, and AAAS and co-winner of NASA’s Software of the Year Award, he blends rigorous theory with practical tools for hazard assessment and risk meetings that bridge academia and Wall Street. Trained at Princeton and UCLA, Rundle is notable for translating complex-systems thinking into applied forecasting methods and for fostering cross-sector collaboration between scientists, financial analysts, and policymakers.
