A Unique Educational & Career Opportunity with Stephen Wolfram

A unique opportunity to do original research at the frontiers of science, the Wolfram Science Summer School helps about 40 students from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds learn about Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science (NKS) and apply it to their fields of interest. Most of these students are advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, but those in different circumstances are considered. We are looking for students who want to move their careers in the NKS direction. Read more »

Bio [2011]

I studied physics and sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. I have a masters in formal logic as invariance theory and undergraduate degrees in sociology of culture and analytic philosophy from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. I studied geometric mechanics under Gerald Eldon Marsden while he was at the University of California, Berkeley mathematics department. I studied gravitation of photons and, with Professor Jianhong Wu, cellular neural networks with state-dependent delay at the Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science at York University in Toronto, Canada. I am currently developing numerical methods for solving state-dependent delay initial data problems at the University of Ljubljana departments of mathematics and computer and information science.

Project Title

Computational Investigations of Delayed Mobile Automaton Dynamics

Project

Delayed mobile automata are a class of mobile automata with memory, whereby the output state is determined by considering the values of (potentially several) previous states of the center cell of a mobile automaton with memory. The dynamical consequences for the output state will of such automata will be considered as compared to the case without memory.
