Professor Ard Louis

I am Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford, and have a broad interdisciplinary set of interests, including self-assembling DNA, theories of evolution, the dynamics of soft matter, machine learning and applications of algorithmic information theory. I happily collaborate with biologists, chemists, computer scientists, mathematicians, philosophers and theologians.

One of my hobbies is molecular gastronomy, applying science to the art of cooking. See these pictures from a dinner I threw for our group.

On a lighter note, my Erdos-Bacon number is 6. I have an Erdos number of 4 through Jonathan Doye and I have a Bacon number of 2 through Morgan Freeman.
