Interestingly, the unpredictability of human behavior is essential to understand what happens, as is the way humans interact with each other.
About the speaker Prof. Mustansir Barma, the Director of TIFR, is a renowned Statistical Physicist, with a keen interest in Disordered Systems. He was awarded the Padmashri in 2013.
