Hey all!


Interested in Information & Complexity Theory?


PhD student Damian Sowinski will give a talk on his research. Here's his short bio:


I am fascinated with understanding physical systems through an informational narrative, gaining insight into the information storage and processing capabilities of matter close to a phase transition between ordered and disordered states. Global complexity lends itself to the emergence of large scale phenomena even when the underlying physics is quite simple, and applying information theoretic measures has shown to be a fruitful way of classifying this emergence while complementing standard classification schemes of statistical physics using order parameters. Since biological systems have very unique, top-down, informational dynamics, understanding how matter processes information is crucial in gaining insight into the question of whether life itself is a critical phenomenon: matter at the precarious cusp of two far less interesting phases.

There will be food/snacks.
