New Journal of Physics, 2018 A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global system objectives. Global objectives give rise to competing design pressures,

Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

The Problem of Engines in Statistical Physics [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their dynamics in ...

Inferring potential landscapes from noisy trajectories of particles within an optical feedback trap
iScience, 2022 Summary: While particle trajectories encode information on their governing potentials, potentials can be challenging to robustly extract from trajectories.

iScience, 2022 Summary: Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world impacts in diverse ...

Statistical Physics of Evolving Systems
Entropy, 2021 Evolution is customarily perceived as a biological process. However, when formulated in terms of physics, evolution is understood to entail everything.

Possible route to efficient thermoelectric applications in a driven fractal network
Scientific Reports, 2021 An essential attribute of many fractal structures is self-similarity. A Sierpinski gasket (SPG) triangle is a promising example of a fractal lattice that exhibits localized energy eigenstates.

Wang--Landau algorithm for entropic sampling of arch-based microstates in the volume ensemble of static granular packings [PDF]
Papers in Physics, 2015 We implement the Wang-Landau algorithm to sample with equal probabilities the static configurations of a model granular system. The "non-interacting rigid arch model" used is based on the description of static configurations by means of splitting the ...
