Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 179 pages, 50 black & white illustrations, 13 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBW; PHS; PHU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 438.
This thesis explores several interdisciplinary topics at the border of theoretical physics and biology, presenting results that demonstrate the power of methods from statistical physics when applied to neighbouring disciplines. From birth-death processes in switching environments to discussions on the meaning of quasi-potential landscapes in high-dimensional spaces, this thesis is a shining example of the efficacy of interdisciplinary research. The fields advanced in this work include game theory, the dynamics of cancer, and invasion of mutants in resident populations, as well as general contributions to the theory of stochastic processes. The background material provides an intuitive introduction to the theory and ... Read more

About Peter Ashcroft
Peter Ashcroft graduated as a Master of Mathematics and Physics from the Univerisity of Manchester in 2012. He then studied for his PhD in Theoretical Physics in Manchester under the supervision of Dr Tobias Galla. This was completed in 2015. Peter is now a postdoc in theoretical biology at ETH Zürich where, amongst other projects, he is investigating the dynamics ... Read more
