Most of our research is devoted to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, learning theory and blockchain technologies.
Key projects include:
- Artificial life, in particular discrete and continuous cellular automata.
- The dynamics of learning (in the context of neural networks).
- Automated exploration of large spaces and automated discovery.
- Decentralized systems, in particular algorithmic game theory and blockchain technologies.
- The investigation of the connection between lattice models and quantum field theories.
