I'll let Anna put the right comments... :-)

We could nearly see our Bandelier friends

Geeks can look good if the image is blurred enough

Christoph Neugebauer

2006-05-14T21:43:42Z

Cjn24:

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Chemistry of the
University of Cambridge, UK. I am currently working on critical phenomena in
non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, in particular on absorbing-state phase
transitions that occur, for example, in models for the spread of epidemics. My
studies focus on the effect of disorder on the critical behavior.

I studied physics as my undergraduate degree, also at the University of
Cambridge.

My favorite sport is football (soccer), but I also enjoy playing tennis, table tennis
and badminton.

Questionnaire:

''1.'' What topics you have some expertise in and would you be willing to help
others learn them?

I have some expertise in statistical mechanics, scaling, and critical
phenomena.

''2.'' What do you want to learn?

I would like to learn about processes on complex networks and network theory
in general, critical behavior and phase transition in biological systems and
social models.

''3.'' Do you have any projects that would benefit from interdisciplinary approach?

Not at the moment, but I'm very keen on starting some.

''4.'' Do you have any ideas for what sort of project you would like to attack this
summer?

Projects that involve one or all of the aspects mentioned in question ''2.''

''5.'' What's your favorite "big problem"?

Understanding how systems consisting of large numbers of components/particles
that obey relatively simple rules or laws of interactions give rise to complex
collective behavior (and finding methods with which this behavior can be
analyzed).

''6.'' If you were given the opportunity to see where we were in one hundred years with respect to progress on one problem/subject, what would it be?

Well, having studied physics, I will have to say that I would want to find out
how the understanding of the fundamental forces of nature has advanced,
i.e. what the progress on a Grand Unified Theory is.
