Computational Science at the University of Amsterdam | Understanding how nature processes information

Simulating blood clot beginnings

Christian Spieker, Gábor Závodszky & Alfons Hoekstra have published a new paper in Physics of Fluids that became a featured article and was published in combination with a Scilight article.

Image-based flow simulation of platelet aggregates under different shear rates

Yue Hao, Gábor Závodszky & Alfons Hoekstra have published a new paper in PLOS Computational Biology on building image based simulations of platelet aggregates.

Loes Crielaard awarded Ph.D. ‘cum laude’

Loes Crielaard successfully defended her Ph.D. an the Agnietenkapel and was even awarded the Ph.D. 'cum laude'. This distinction is awarded exceedingly rarely in our field. For more details, see the news article.

Pilot project awarded

Dhruv Mittal and Vítor V .Vasconcelos awarded ENLENS Pilot Project with Shaul Shalvi (FEB) and external collaborators.

Three group members were accepted into NetSci 2023 in Austria

NetSci is the world’s flagship conference on network science.

We live in a highly connected and strongly coupled world, and are surrounded by a large diversity of complex systems. All these systems have one thing in common: they process information. We aim to understand this information processing in such dynamic multi-level complex systems.

“Nature is a Complex System that processes information. Computational Science aims to make the complexity of those systems tractable.”
