Sidney Redner is a professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He has worked extensively in non-equilibrium statistical physics and stochastics and has published more than 300 research articles in these areas. First-passage processes have played a large role in many of these publications. He is Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and received the 2021 Leo P. Kadanoff Prize from the APS. He co-authored the book A Kinetic View of Statistical Physics (Cambridge University Press, 2010).
