Physics Laboratory of Complex Systems

The Physics Laboratory of Complex Systems at EPFL focuses on studying complex systems such as amorphous materials, dynamical systems in biology, and living amorphous matter. They develop tools in statistical mechanics and dynamical systems to address conceptual and practical questions related to non-equilibrium situations. The lab explores the behavior of materials like glassy materials, granular flows, and living materials, aiming to understand phenomena like memory in complex systems, jamming transitions, and mechanical principles in proteins. Additionally, they conduct research on deep learning, exploring topics like the effects of noise in neural networks, spatial information loss, and generalization in deep learning models.
