Robert Laughlin
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences
BioProfessor Laughlin is a theorist with interests ranging from hard-core engineering to cosmology. He is an expert in semiconductors (Nobel Prize 1998) and has also worked on plasma and nuclear physics issues related to fusion and nuclear-pumped X-ray lasers. His technical work at the moment focuses on “correlated-electron” phenomenology – working backward from experimental properties of materials to infer the presence (or not) of new kinds of quantum self-organization. He recently proposed that all Mott insulators – including the notorious doped ones that exhibit high-temperature superconductivity – are plagued by a new kind of subsidiary order called “orbital antiferromagnetism” that is difficult to detect directly. He is also the author of A Different Universe, a lay-accessible book explaining emergent law.

Eloi Laurent
Overseas Studies - Paris, Bing Overseas Studies
BioDr. Éloi Laurent is a senior economist at OFCE who teaches at Ponts Paris Tech, the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA), the Urban School and the School of Public Affairs at Sciences Po; he has been since 2011 visiting professor at Stanford University. Macro-economist by training (PhD), he graduated from Paris-Dauphine and Sciences Po (summa cum laude).
His work focuses on the social-ecological approach and the well-being economy which he has defined as a combination of sufficiency, cooperation and health. He also works on the well-being city understood as a tapestry of social and natural bonds. He recently co-created the Well-being Economy Toolbox (https://toolbox.preventncd.eu/).
He is the author or editor of thirty books in French and English (translated into nine languages), three governmental reports and around a hundred articles published in French and international journals (partial list of publications: https://ideas.repec.org/f/pla209.html)
He was parliamentary attaché to the National Assembly and assistant in the cabinet of the French Prime Minister. He has been a Visiting Scholar at New York University (NYU) and Columbia University, Visiting Professor at the University of Montreal, and Visiting Scholar and Professor at Harvard University.
He is Research Fellow at the Well-being Economy Alliance (WeALL), qualified expert for European institutions and was the chairman of the SHS 5 (economics and law) and Foresight (sustainable development) Commissions of the Scientific Research Fund, FRS- FNRS (Belgium).
