To illustrate the power of the biophysical approach in solving important problems in life science, I present here one of our current research projects as an example. We have developed special biophotonic techniques to study the dynamic…
This article is based on lecture notes for the Marie Curie Training school "Initial Training on Numerical Methods for Active Matter". It provides an introductory overview of modeling approaches for active matter and is primarily targeted at…
This is an extensive review of recent work on the foundations of statistical mechanics. Subject matters discussed include: interpretation of probability, typicality, recurrence, reversibility, ergodicity, mixing, coarse graining, past…
Educational guide focused on the statistical treatment of measurement uncertainties. The conditions of application of current practices are detailed and precised: mean values, central limit theorem, linear regression. The last two chapters…
These are the commentaries for a volume of reprints of my selected papers with commentaries that I am preparing for publication by World Scientific. Contents: Preface; (1)Early Years, and Condensed Matter Physics; (2) High Energy Neutrino…
The following is an amalgamation of four preprints and some computer programs which together represent the current state of our investigations of higher order links. This investigation was motivated by questions discussed and raised in the…
In this paper, we review some recent work on amorphous materials using current "first principles" electronic structure/molecular dynamics techniques. The main theme of the paper is to emphasize new directions in the use of such ab initio…
Physics has a reputation among majority of life sciences students for being very complicated and tough. If we leave students with this impression, it is likely that students see physics class as useless and irrelevant to life sciences.…
Laser-plasma physics has developed rapidly over the past few decades as high-power lasers have become both increasingly powerful and more widely available. Early experimental and numerical research in this field was restricted to…
Invited contribution to the inaugural issue of {\em Physics Educator.}
Data science methodologies, which have undergone significant developments recently, provide flexible representational performance and fast computational means to address the challenges faced by traditional scientific methodologies while…
This is a Commentary in $Physics~Today$ on the novel review process developed by the biology journal $eLife$, with the suggestion that it be adopted by physics journals.
Our paper illustrates how the theory of Lie systems allows recovering known results and provide new examples of piecewise deterministic processes with phase-type jumps for which the corresponding first-time passage problems may be solved…
The science and clinical practice of medical physics has been integral to the advancement of radiology and radiation therapy for over a century. In parallel, advances in surgery - including intraoperative imaging, registration, and other…
In recent years, it has been well-established that adding a restart mechanism can alter the firstpassage statistics of a stochastic processes in useful and interesting ways. Though different mecha-nisms have been investigated, we derive a…
This book is organized into eight chapters. The first three gently introduce the basic principles of hybrid high-order methods on a linear diffusion problem, the key ideas underlying the mathematical analysis, and some useful variants of…
The molecular biology revolution of the last seventy five years has transformed our view of living systems. Scientific explanations of biological phenomena are now synonymous with the identification of the genes, proteins, and signaling…
Contemporary scholarly discourse follows many alternative routes in addition to the three-century old tradition of publication in peer-reviewed journals. The field of High- Energy Physics (HEP) has explored alternative communication…
Geometric mechanics is usually studied in applied mathematics and most introductory texts are hence aimed at a mathematically minded audience. The present note tries to provide the intuition of geometric mechanics and to show the relevance…
An interesting recent paper in Nature explores a new method to construct solid bodies rolling along given curves on an inclined plane, based on the Gauss Theorem. The present article complements those examinations with rigorous existence…
