Laws of Physics: from Black Holes to pandemics

In this project we want to 1) see if mathematical techniques normally used in quantum mechanics could, surprisingly, also be used to model societal issues such as pandemic outbreaks; 2) explore the building blocks of matter in an original approach that will look at elasticity, one of the most common behaviours in nature - starting from bendable rubber to biological structures to even the crust of neutron stars; 3) explore other surprising aspects of spacetime, namely the existence of event horizons (a point of no return marking the existence of a black hole) and the creation of Hawking radiation around these horizons.
