Organisation profile

The CSM group applies statistical physics to a wide variety of cross-disciplinary topics, ranging from computer science to materials as paper to complex networks. We also interact with industrial research, and study fundamental issues both theoretically and experimentally. The research pages show some recent highlights about these. In addition to Prof. Alava, other senior group members include FiDiPro Stefano Zapperi, and Academy Research Fellows Lasse Laurson and Antti Puisto.
