Research Projects
Our group does theoretical work involving thermodynamics, dynamical systems, complex networks, and stochastic processes. Through a combination of computer simulations, acquisition of data, and theoretical approximations, we try to understand why and how systems behave the way they do. In this way we analyze the propagation of infectious disease, the transduction of energy through biomolecules, the transfer of stocks, etc.
