ERBIL CAN ARTUN RESEARCH The general perspective of my research is to develop an understanding of the complexity of Nature, both physically and metaphysically. My current research in theoretical statistical mechanics focuses on complex spin systems with quenched disorder and frustrated interactions. I use the renormalization-group theory as a main mathematical tool in my research. In metaphysics (as ontology), my research currently focuses on the problem of border and the principle of individuation. | ORCID ID: 0000-0002-9624-3124 EDUCATION PHD, COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES — KADIR HAS UNIVERSITY, ISTANBUL (PRESENT) Advisor: Prof. A.
