Still accepting postdoc applications!

New preprint out today: “Information Thermodynamics of Cellular Ion Pumps”. Led by talented undergraduate student Julián Jiménez-Paz, and working with @davidasivak.bsky.social, we explore the thermodynamics of cellular ion pumps like the sodium-potassium pump. arxiv.org/abs/2506.11248

Fun new paper by Callum @sfuphysics.bsky.social, on energetically efficient multi-parameter driving of our favorite molecular motor (shout out F1!). doi.org/10.1103/bm3d...

Congratulations to Matt on his Convocation Medal!

Canada Excellence Research Chairs offer $4-8M over eight years to build a world-class research focus.

Postdoc opportunity! Join us in heavenly Vancouver (Canada) to develop fundamental nonequilibrium stat mech, thermo, and info theory applied to biomolecular machines and in close collaboration with experiment. Details: www.sfu.ca/physics/siva...

Kudos to Matt for his complete leadership from start to finish on this review, which was invited as a result of his compelling, cohesive, and ground-breaking graduate research!

Check out the CUNY-ITS/Princeton-CPBF symposium tomorrow on Information and Irreversibility itsatcuny.org/calendar/202... featuring @fakhrilab.bsky.social, my colleague John Bechhoefer, and yours truly!

I have openings for graduate students in @sfuphysics.bsky.social, Chemistry, or MBB. Check out davidsivak.com for our research interests!

The sixth annual Workshop on Stochastic Thermodynamics (WOST VI) will be held May 12-16, 2025. This workshop is entirely online and free to attend. 10-minute lightning talks will be chosen from 1-page abstracts, with priority given to early-career researchers.
