I'm a PhD student in the Complex Systems group at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden; my advisor is Martin Nilsson Jacobi. [https://www.chalmers.se/ee/SV/personal/edlund-erik Almost empty homepage]

My research interests mainly lie in the intersection of the fields of complex systems and statistical physics. At the moment I work mainly on self-assembly with isotropic potentials, trying to find theoretical tools allowing us to understand what happens in typical assembling systems as well as how to design potentials leading to desired structures. I've also done work on renormalization of cellular automata and am interested in using renormalization theory to construct a general theory of hierarchies in dynamical systems, though that project is a bit on the back burner at the moment. [http://arxiv.org/find/cond-mat/1/au:+Edlund_E/0/1/0/all/0/1 Some papers]

Much of my spare time is spent on music; I play the violin, sing and do a bit of (~musical) amateur theater. I also train Capoeira when time allows.

Use this space to organize your own after hours activities.

==Bandelier Field Trip==
[[JP]] would like to set up a trip to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandelier_National_Monument Bandelier National Monument] on Sat. June 18. We might string a visit to the [http://www.vallescaldera.gov/ Valles Caldera] and [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Science Museum/Los Alamos] in as well.

From Stefani: I know the head archaeologist at Bandelier. I'll see if I can get him or his assistant to give us a brief talk.

Bandelier Trip Sign Up.

==Soccer, Monday 13 June at 7 PM?==
(I saw this from Victor on the CSSS FB wall)

"Who's down for soccer this Monday evening, at 7?
Rsvp w/a comment
If you have a ball, bring it--and let us know in your rsvp
I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==

For anyone interested, they're playing in town.

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Please add your car and seats if you have one 

Car 1: JP's Camry (4 seats)

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==
From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/] 
Presented by Iain Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University) 

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Los Alamos==

Los Alamos National Labs

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines."

I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio

I'd like to go too! -Raghav

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos. - Nini

==Other Options==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles

UPDATE: We'll be making it an official trip. Shuttles will arrive at SJC 10 June at 6:00(18:00), return 8:00 (20:00).
