Computational & Statistical Physics

The TUC Research Lab Computational & Statistical Physics is focused on problems in statistical physics of hard and soft condensed matter as well as on applications to complex socio-economic systems with quantitative methods. To tackle such problems we rely on a wide range of analytical and numerical techniques, most prominently large-scale Monte Carlo simulations as well as combinatorial and heuristic optimisation algorithms, but also techniques for random graphs and networks as well as solution methods for stochastic processes such as epidemic spreading processes.
