Our broad field of methods and applications cover most areas of modern statistical physics, from classical and quantum systems, through mesoscopic systems, polymers and proteins, to bioinformatics and beyond the classical realm of the physical sciences. Likewise, we employ a wide array of techniques to tackle the statistical physics of these systems, ranging from field theory and perturbative techniques, to the renormalization group, to large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, to heuristic optimization approaches.
