📣 New paper out 📣
Interested in the growth of cities? We use tools from statistical physics and surface growth theories to characterize urban sprawl from satellite data.
Check out all the details:

Universal Roughness and the Dynamics of Urban Expansion
Urban sprawl reshapes cities, yet its quantitative laws remain elusive. Analyzing built-up expansion in 19 cities (1985--2015) with tools from surface growth physics in radial geometry, we reveal anis...

Really happy to see this out in PRX Life! There you can find an eco-evolutionary framework integrating the evolution of viral infectiousness and antigenic features. While the former determines contagion events among hosts, the latter tells us how quickly viruses can escape population immunity 1/4👇

Predicting human cooperation: sensitizing drift-diffusion model to interaction and external stimuli | Journal of The Royal Society Interface
Human cooperation arises naturally and is essential for the development of successful societies. This study aims to identify which aspects of the interaction influence societal cooperation and defection. Specifically, we investigate human cooperation ...

How far can you compress a complex system?

🚨 In our latest paper we collapse high-dim compartmental models (from epidemics to ecosystems) into a single 1-D equation using quantum-inspired math, exposing universal phase transitions #ComplexSystems ‪👇👇👇

How do cities expand?
Using surface growth physics, we found a unique exponent governing their local geometry. Instead, their dynamics range from smooth diffusion to abrupt coalescence, with demographic pressure driving where each city lands on that spectrum.

Universal roughness and the dynamics of urban expansion
We present a new approach to quantify urban sprawl using tools from surface growth physics. Analyzing built-up area expansion in 19 cities (1985-2015), we uncover anisotropic growth with branch-like e...
