Hey there! I'm Javier, a physicist with a passion for unraveling the mysteries behind collective behavior. Although my areas of study may seem unrelated, spanning from magnetic spins to ant colonies and the dynamics of pedestrian movement in crowds, they are all linked by one common factor: the interaction of individual entities produces patterns at a collective scale. That's where statistical mechanics comes in. Essentially, I'm all about exploring collective behavior in physical, biological, and social systems through the lens of statistical mechanics.
