Jonathan R Dunkley

Jonathan R. Dunkley is a researcher investigating the role of information geometry in fundamental physics and complex systems. His work focuses on the development of Universal Information Hydrodynamics (UIH), a framework that unifies reversible and irreversible dynamics through Fisher information metrics and symplectic geometry.

His research explores how common geometric structures emerge across disparate scales. In the domain of quantum foundations, he has worked on deriving the Schrödinger equation from minimal information-theoretic axioms, while in statistical mechanics, he utilizes renormalization group flows and hypocoercivity to classify universal behaviors in open quantum systems and Markov processes.

Beyond theoretical physics, Jonathan applies these principles to phenomenological problems. His work on Emergent Fisher Halos proposes a scalar field description of galactic dynamics as a vacuum response to baryonic matter. In genomics, he applies similar hydrodynamic methods to model the organization of noncoding sequences in Human Accelerated Regions.

He is currently integrating these findings to further establish the links between information theory, thermodynamics, and field theory.
