Statistical physics of spin systems provides a versatile framework for understanding phase transitions and critical phenomena by modelling collections of interacting discrete variables, or “spins”, ...

I am studying time-irreversibility in active matter and non-equilibrium statistical physics. Right now, I am focusing on ratchet currents and entropy production in active matter, and the ...

Our framework for understanding non-equilibrium behaviour is yet to match the simplicity and power of equilibrium statistical physics. But recent theoretical and experimental advances reveal key ...

A large class of problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics deal with driven dynamics of elastic interfaces in random media. Examples include stress-driven propagation of crack fronts in ...

Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of information from an information system results in the dissipation of at least ...
