It is a pleasure to feature Dr. Valentina Ros from the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Statistical Models, Orsay, who explores high-dimensional random potentials, inference problems, and associated dynamics, with random matrix theory as a key analytical tool.
Watch Valentina's Nordita talk and engage in discussions with peers and Dr. Ros herself on Enabla: https://enabla.com/pub/1169/about
This is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of high-dimensional systems in statistical physics and inference problems.
What Is Entropy? A Measure of Just How Little We Really Know

* 200 years ago French engineer introduced idea quantifying universe’s inexorable slide into decay
* entropy is less a fact about the world than a reflection of our growing ignorance
* embracing that truth is leading to rethinking everything f. rational decision-making to the limits of machines
“Metacognitive #MindStorm”
Can we build a metacognitive mind?
Most likely we do in some form perhaps . In its basic sense it’s simply thinking about thinking. Does it go deeper?

New preprint out, with Richard Mann and @elva, where we take a collective behaviour look on the emergence of foraging area in ants
For 2024 I would like to increase slightly my digital presence. In the personal side, uploading more music covers/compositions to Youtube and Instagram and here maybe generating some kind of (hopefully useful) academic content.
I've been thinking about writing 1-post reviews of papers I read, so I also force myself to read more papers. I'd be interested in commenting #statisticalphysics + #complexsystems, also to see if we can create a bigger network of statphys here in Mastodon.
The final version of our article published in Physica A is now available online:

We got finally published our article on granular cubic particles. Thanks to our collaborators in BUAP, Puebla and Universidad Autónoma de Hidalgo.

New *continuing* faculty position in the physics of complex systems at @sydney_physics @Sydney_Science. It's a great environment with great colleagues (including me!) and a very competitive salary and benefits.
Please boost!
Exciting news! My visionary project, grounded on complexity and network science to tackle climate change, has received a 1 million euro grant from the Italian Ministry for Research, under the prestigious FIS call (kind of "Italian ERC")!
Immense gratitude to my collaborators and our outstanding research lab members for their unwavering support. Together, we're venturing into uncharted territories, unraveling the intricate connections between #ComplexSystems and #Climate impact. Ready to embark on this scientific journey and glad it's going to start at the Università degli Studi di Padova, a place where knowledge and ideas are truly free to flourish since 1222.

PS: Stay tuned, going to hire soon senior postdocs and PhDs.

A newbie question on Julia:
Converted a large MC code set in Julia from C. It is a one-to-one mapping from my previous C code, except few vectorizations.
It uses only one library- Random, for rand().
The Julia code is terribly slower than the C code.
Can someone please throw some pointers on this problem?

#SoftMatter have just published the results of a project that Renato Assante, Davide Marenduzzo, Alexander Morozov, and I recently worked on together! What did we do and what’s new? Briefly…
#Microswimmer suspensions behave in a similar way to fluids containing kinesin and microtubules. Both systems can be described by the same system of three coupled nonlinear #PDEs.
A #LinearStabilityAnalysis of these equations suggests that variations in concentration across the system don’t significantly affect emergent #phaseBehaviour. How then can we explain #experiments that show visible inhomogeneities in #microtubule–#kinesin mixtures, for instance?
With increasing activity, we move away from the quiescent regime, past the onset of #SpontaneousFlow, and deeper into the active phase, where #nonlinearities become more important. What role do concentration inhomogeneities play here?
We investigated these questions, taking advantage of the #openSource #Dedalus #spectral framework to simulate the full nonlinear time evolution. This led us to predict a #novel regime of #spontaneous #microphaseSeparation into active (nematically ordered) and passive domains.
Active flow arrests macrophase separation in this regime, counteracting domain coarsening due to thermodynamic coupling between active matter concentration and #nematic order. As a result, domains reach a characteristic size that decreases with increasing activity.
This regime is one part of the #PhaseDiagram we mapped out. Along with our other findings, you can read all about it here!
