Greg J Stephens is an associate professor of physics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and an adjunct professor at OIST Graduate University in Japan, In 2022 he was selected as a fellow of the American Physical Society. He received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Maryland with a dissertation in general relatively under the guidance of Bei-Lok Hu. He held postdoctoral positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory with Wojciech Zurek and Garret Kenyon, and, after a change in research direction to the physics of living systems, with William Bialek at Princeton University. Centered on organism-scale biophysics, his research combines dynamical systems, statistical physics and information theory to understand animals in natural motion.
