I do not do full-time Research. This is another hobby of mine, like music or swimming.

Bucket list of ideas

  • Choose starting points in CHNs studying the attractor basin’s topology
  • Relationship between the TSP and the optimal value for τ in the CHN
  • Re-scale distance matrix for small distances to add potential and small to substract
