I lost count of the number of the spells. The incoming spell looks damn good and intense. The stationery Depression is pushing one clouds after another like a shock wave ripple.

Our paper on how social media plays a role in societal polarization.
My recently graduated PhD student Samana is the lead author.
Studies are now in progress with data gleaned from social media.

The full paper is available at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960077924014310?via%3Dihub

Our recent paper in Physics of Fluids AIP Publishing.
The lead author Rajanya Chatterjee is pursuing her PhD and is being jointly guided by
Sunetra Sarkar and Sayan Gupta. Chhote Lal Shah is a former student from the Biomimetics and Dynamics Laboratory, IIT Madras and completed his PhD with Sunetra Sarkar in 2023.

The formation of patterns such as in sand dunes to animal bodies is the result of non-equilibrium self organization following Turing instability in spatio-temporal dynamical systems. Similar phenomenon is observed in complex networked dynamical systems as well, such as in social media networks. We show in our work that the conditions for Turing instability, as discussed in the literature, are not sufficient and that clustering plays an important role as well.

Moreover, analysis of the Laplacian eigenvector localization properties reveal distinct signatures in the hypergeometric metric space, that enable identifying the so called Turing patterns even in complex networks.

The lead author, Samana Pranesh just submitted her PhD thesis.
Devanand Jaiswal is a former postdoc.

Congratulations to the graduates from the second cohort of IDDD (Interdisciplinary Dual Degree) students in Complex Systems and Dynamics and to our first international student from the inaugural cohort of International Interdisciplinary Masters Program (I2MP)
