Christopher Lynn

Christopher Lynn is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Yale University. His research focuses on biophysics, statistical physics of brain networks, information processing in neural populations, and network science of complex living systems. He is a member of the Quantitative Biology Institute and the Wu Tsai Institute. Lynn joined Yale as an Assistant Professor of Physics. His work explores how structure and function emerge in complex systems, particularly the brain, using statistical physics to understand collective macroscopic phenomena. He received his Ph.D. in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his postdoc at Princeton as a James S. McDonnell Foundation Fellow.

Christopher W. Lynn is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University, affiliated with the Quantitative Biology Institute and the Wu Tsai Institute. His research focuses on Biological Physics, Computational Neuroscience, Statistical Physics, and Network Science. He explores the physics of brain network structure, function, and control, as well as the thermodynamics of computation and information processing in complex systems. His work includes studies on entropy production in the human brain, nonequilibrium dynamics, and the role of network structure in shaping cognitive and neural processes. Lynn's research bridges theoretical physics with empirical neuroscience, aiming to uncover fundamental principles governing biological systems.
