Research Interests

My main concern is the transfer of paradigmatic models and methods from the realm of theoretical physics and complex systems to other scientific fields, e.g. marine biology, ecology or the neuroscience. Aside from the chance to explain observed phenomena in neighbouring fields by fundamental principles or mechanisms there may arise also a practical value from this approach. For instance, the optimization or control of complex process may follow from a quantitative reconstruction of its causal interaction patterns. Quite often, my methods include a stochastic component, be it in a model approach (via stochastic processes), be it in empirical data analysis (via statistical inference).
