Gourab Ghoshal will be giving an interdisciplinary colloquium at Ashoka University on June 10, 2025, hosted jointly by the Departments of Physics and Computer Science.
Title: Scaling Laws, Movement, and Meaning: A Complex Systems View of Urban Life
The talk explores how ideas from physics, network theory, and information theory can illuminate the structure and dynamics of cities — from the role of social connectivity in urban scaling, to how human movement shapes epidemic spread, to entropy-based measures of predictability in complex environments.
If you’re in the Delhi NCR area, stop by! The talk runs from 1:30 to 2:30 PM in AC-02-LR-203.
