Brown Theoretical Physics Center Director Professor Brad Marston was interviewed for the podcast Agents of Tech at the 2023 APS March Meeting. In the episode “Network Science, Network Medicine, Theoretical and Computational Physics and Quantum matter,” Marston is joined by physicist and network scientist Albert-László Barabási. Beginning at timestamp 15:20, Marston discusses the challenges of modeling non-equilibrium systems; the discovery of the mathematical links between the quantum Hall effect and phenomena in the systems of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans; observational next steps in this discovery; machine learning; the role of physics and physicists in public policy around climate change; and more.
