🚀 The University of Rochester is hiring in Complex Systems (Physics)! Join a vibrant cross-disciplinary cluster supported by the Simons Foundation. Great opportunity to build a program at the interface of physics, biology & cognition. Apply ➡️ apply.interfolio.com/173432

Excited to share our new @prxlife.bsky.social roadmap article: “Physics of Life: Exploring Information as a Distinctive Feature of Living Systems” 🚀 We argue that information is a defining feature of living systems. 🔗 journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

🚨 New paper out today! We revisit the classic Daisyworld model using semantic information theory to explore how biospheres regulate their planets through information—not just energy. With @doctorowls.bsky.social & @adamfrank4.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/...

Why does the most original science sometimes come from outside elite circles? Our new paper tackles a tough question: Do superstar scientists fuel or stifle innovation around them? After 2 years + a few rejections, it’s finally out. 🧵

New paper in @commsphys.nature.com Mobility policies that reduce airborne disease can worsen vector-borne disease. We show why—and how to fix it. 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s42... With Bibandhan Poudyal & David Soriano Paños #epidemiology #networks

Excited to give an interdisciplinary colloquium at Ashoka University on Tuesday, June 10! 🧠 Scaling Laws, Movement & Meaning: A Complex Systems View of Urban Life 📍 AC-02-LR-203 🕜 1:30–2:30 PM From urban scaling & mobility to entropy & meaning—come by if you're in Delhi NCR!

A bit late in posting, but huge congrats to my PhD student @bibandhan.bsky.social Poudyal for winning the prestigious Messersmith Dissertation Fellowship at @urochester.bsky.social! One of the university’s top honors for doctoral research in the sciences. Well earned, Bib! 👏🎉

Privileged to be speaking at the venerable Stat Mech conference at Rutgers next week (127th edition!) Especially nice as @barabasi.bsky.social is one of the honorees. Stellar cast of speakers, hope to not embarass myself too much!

Phase (de)synchronization from an information theoretic standpoint. An interesting reformulation of the Kuramoto model. Our latest now out in Physical Review Research with Damian Sowinski and AdamFrank. Check it out! link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/...

How can we tailor mitigation strategies for diseases with vastly different dynamics? Our study offers a unified framework to optimize NPIs for airborne & vector-borne diseases. Great work by my student Bib Poudyal with @sorianopanos.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2411.16682

Trying this place for a change.
