Jens' main interests are physical systems of critical phenomena and efficient sampling methods such as irreversible Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithms.
Statistical mechanics is that branch of mathematical physics which seeks to explain how macroscopic behaviour can emerge from the interactions between a large number of microscopic particles; in short, to explain how and why the sum is greater than its parts.
Statistical mechanics is that branch of mathematical physics which seeks to explain how macroscopic behaviour can emerge from the interactions between a large number of microscopic particles; in short, to explain how and why the sum is greater than its parts. This project is particularly focussed on understanding how phenomena such as phase transitions emerge in large but finite systems of interacting agents/particles.
