Mission

Most of our research is devoted to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and deep learning theory.

Key projects include:
--The investigation of the connection between lattice models and conformal field theories.
--The dynamics of learning, in particular that of neural networks during training.
--Artificial life, in particular continuous cellular automata.
--Decentralized systems.

Analysis III

To learn the basic tools of vector analysis and complex analysis.

Artificial Life

We will study the emergence of life-like phenomena, such as locomotion, resilience,, reproduction, and evolution in mathematical models, in particular in discrete and continuous cellular automata, developing techniques to analyze, connect and characterize life-like features in such systems.
