Volker Jentsch:

Coauthor of Extreme Events in Nature and Society (Springer 2006), habilitated in

physics. He has worked at Max Planck Institutes and numerous universities in Germany and abroad, where he developed

mathematical and physical models for space, climate and transport. In the meantime, he worked in a ministry that manages science and research. At the end of the journey

he landed at the University of Bonn. There he founded and shaped, together with

scientists from various disciplines, "The Interdisciplinary

Center for Complex Systems". Today, he is concerned, among other things, with the
