Adam has published research on biophysics, materials science, astrophysics, fundamental physics, and machine learning. In all of these areas, his focus has been on scaling relations and the interactions which give rise to complexity in otherwise simple systems.

“An important part of my work is understanding how the variety of phenomena we see all around us comes from the steady operation of simple rules. The laws are simple and compact, which makes the complexity with which they unfold fascinating to me.”
