Anyway. Sorry for the spam, but would anyone like to read a barely technical blog post I wrote about #StatisticalPhysics and optionally give me some feedback before I make it public? :)
re-#introduction
Hi Fediscience! I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Honolulu). I got here starting from Physics training with many scientific detours into data-driven models, complex systems, nanomaterial self-assembly, human learning of complex networks, naval ships, and design problems.
I grew up in Belarus and have *opinions* on that region of the world. I've been on Fediverse since late 2022 when *something* happened to our previous cybersocial infrastructure, but the previous server I was on is sunsetting. Please come say hi and recommend cool people to follow here.
I have a blog with longer thoughts on science-adjacent topics.

Ever since I read through the beginning of David Tong's statistical notes, I've been fascinated by how independent the notion of temperature is from laws of physics. To get a notion of "temperature of a system", basically all you need is 1/ a way to assign a set of possible microstates and macrostates (along with a probability distribution for them) to a system 2/ a notion of energy, that is, a quantity that is extensive (i.e. the energy of the combination of two systems is the sum of their individual energies) and conserved.
This got me thinking: in our universe, there are many more extensive, conserved quantities (mass, charge, linear/angular momentum along the x/y/z-axis...). What happens if you take the definition of temperature and just swap energy for one of those other quantities? I can't imagine no one has ever considered that!
Wow, awesome paper.

It is a pleasure to feature Dr. Valentina Ros from the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Statistical Models, Orsay, who explores high-dimensional random potentials, inference problems, and associated dynamics, with random matrix theory as a key analytical tool.
📚 Watch Valentina's Nordita talk and engage in discussions with peers and Dr. Ros herself on Enabla: https://enabla.com/pub/1169/about
This is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of high-dimensional systems in statistical physics and inference problems.

How little we really know about entropy

* 200 years ago French engineer introduced idea quantifying universe’s inexorable slide into decay
* entropy is less a fact about the world than a reflection of our growing ignorance
* embracing that truth is leading to rethinking everything f. rational decision-making to the limits of machines

“Metacognitive #MindStorm”
Can we build a metacognitive mind?
Most likely we do in some form perhaps . In its basic sense it’s simply thinking about thinking. Does it go deeper?

For 2024 I would like to increase slightly my digital presence. In the personal side, uploading more music covers/compositions to Youtube and Instagram and here maybe generating some kind of (hopefully useful) academic content.
I've been thinking about writing 1-post reviews of papers I read, so I also force myself to read more papers. I'd be interested in commenting #statisticalphysics + #complexsystems, also to see if we can create a bigger network of statphys here in Mastodon.
The final version of our article published in Physica A is now available online:

We got finally published our article on granular cubic particles. Thanks to our collaborators in BUAP, Puebla and Universidad Autónoma de Hidalgo.

New *continuing* faculty position in the physics of complex systems at @sydney_physics @Sydney_Science. It's a great environment with great colleagues (including me!) and a very competitive salary and benefits.
Please boost! 🤓😀
Exciting news! 🎉 My visionary project, grounded on complexity and network science to tackle climate change, has received a 1 million euro grant from the Italian Ministry for Research, under the prestigious FIS call (kind of "Italian ERC")! 🇮🇹🔬🌍
Immense gratitude to my collaborators and our outstanding research lab members for their unwavering support. Together, we're venturing into uncharted territories, unraveling the intricate connections between #ComplexSystems and #Climate impact. Ready to embark on this scientific journey and glad it's going to start at the Università degli Studi di Padova, a place where knowledge and ideas are truly free to flourish since 1222.

PS: Stay tuned, going to hire soon senior postdocs and PhDs.
Empezando la International Conference on Statistical Physics, Chania, Creta
We look forward to new exciting collaborations & papers emerging from our ELLIS/ELISE program workshop ending in Tübingen, Germany, today - an intense exchange on #StochasticCalculus, #StatisticalPhysics & #ML with passionate European scientists that we plan to repeat next year!
