New paper from the lab to systematically reduce multi-dimensional systems to an effective one-dimensional representation, and go beyond mean-field analysis of reaction-diffusion systems 👀

#ComplexityThoughts : New short essay out!

Why complex networks are sparse, after all? A possible answer based on thermodynamic origin and information dynamics is explored.

Excited for our latest paper w/ Arsham Ghavasieh & Manlio De Domenico

~5 years to develop the math needed & understand the physics.

TL;DR

Thermodynamics + information:

1. can explain the emergence of complex features
2. shape structure & function and 🔁

🚨Excited to announce the opening of 2 fully funded PhD and 3 senior research/postdoctoral 3y+ positions to work on the statistical physics of #ComplexNetworks !

The focus will be on climate #resilience & coupled complex processes.

Join us: we'll have fun!

Thrilled that our latest paper by Arsham Ghavasieh and Manlio De Domenico is just published!

We stretch the boundaries of statistical physics of information dynamics to non-diffusive dynamical processes and show that “structure is not enough”

New work with Pieter Simoens and Yara Khaluf in Physica A Elsevier Physics . We study group foraging quantitatively and show how benefits of joining others depends on the resource distribution.

New work, with Yara Khaluf and Pieter Simoens, on (dis)advantages of altruistic behavior in collective foraging, and how it depends on the resource distribution, is published in a special issue of Swarm Intelligence!
