Research
We develop and apply the methods of mathematical physics and the theory of stochastic processes to study phenomena in complex (incl. biophysical) systems. Our main research focus is path-wise statistical mechanics, stochastic thermodynamics, and kinetics of particle systems and fields out of thermodynamic equilibrium. This includes the control of uncertainty in the inference from under-sampled data. In the biophysical context we are interested in macromolecular conformation dynamics and molecular signaling processes.
