Research
- Monte Carlo simulations in Statistical Physics (percolation, Ising models, polymers)
- Biologically motivated computer simulations (ageing)
- Econophysics: microscopic models for stock markets (e.g. Cont-Bouchaud)

News
Simulated 1000102 ^2, 9984 ^3, 880 ^4, 176^5 and 48^6 Ising model,
1000192 ^2 cellular automata (speed: 145 GUPS; 550 GUPS for 640*640).
For percolation, Daniel Tiggemann (PhD thesis 2006) reached (7 million)^2, 25024 ^3, 1305^4, 225^5; and (2 million)^2 for Ising.
