The ultimate goal of such a theory is to unify the physics of particles at very small length scales PROGRAMMING C • Matlab • LATEX • HTML • CSS • PHP with the physics governing our universe at the largest possible length scale. One of the big conundrums of string theory is whether it can describe a universe LabVIew • Javascript • MySQL • Bash resembling ours. During the year long thesis project I looked for solution within R • Node.js • Git Various javascript frameworks including the framework of string theory that looks like our universe. To do this we examined a small subset of models in the simplest settings that might allow such a solution. jQuery, React and knockout The result was negative, for these simple models which are quite restricted there OTHER; PC-RELATED aren't any solutions resembling our universe on cosmological scales. GNUplot MS Ofﬁce and open-source alternatives OSMOSIS ON A LATTICE MASTERS PROJECT Several Computer Algebra Systems ( Feb 2014 – May 2014 | Leuven, Belgium Mathematica etc. ) Together with Philip Ruijten I investigated osmosis in a non-equilibrium set-up. Troubleshooting server issues This was achieved by replacing the classical point particles by dimers and using speciﬁc rates in a lattice gas model. No new physics was found although it did seem to contradict with earlier work.
