Biography

The research topic I am more interested in the last years is the modeling of Social Phenomena. The relation of these systems with the traditional Physics is not restricted to the occurrence of Critical Phenomena. Just as Statistical Physics models explain how a collection of atoms can exhibit the correlated behavior necessary to produce a ferromagnet, Social Science models wish to explain interdependent behaviors. The basic idea in Statistical Physics – that the behavior of one atom is influenced by the behavior of other atoms – is thus similar to the social science claim that one individual’s decisions depend upon the decisions of others; therein lies the possibility of a common mathematical and/or computational structure.
