Tommaso Cossetto

 In my early days as a physicist I was fascinated by the fundamental fabric of the universe, the infinitesimally small or asymptotically large of quantum fields and general relativity. Somehow though I committed to the in-between scale, where physics looks for the working principles of living systems. I spent my PhD to understand fluctuations and their scaling in systems out of equilibrium, from a microscopic stochastic evolution to a macroscopic description. Currently I am working my way towards biology, to find what has nonequilibrium physics to say about the interactions of cells or other organisms with their environment.
