In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

I am working in statistical physics, complex systems and condensed matter theory. I am particularly interested in glassy and off-equilibrium physics and slow and collective dynamics.

Spin glasses are paradigmatic examples of disordered and frustrated systems in which magnetic moments, or “spins”, interact through random couplings that can be either ferromagnetic or ...
