Heading towards rules of life: From the genetic code to organisms to societies, helpfully illustrated by CHATGPT
Picture
I am now an Assistant Professor of Physics at the Department of Natural Sciences at the Claremont Colleges, formerly the W. M. Keck Science Department.  If you want to work with me, especially if you're a Claremont student, let me know! And if you are just generally looking for research opportunities and are a Claremont student, check out this website helpfully moderated by Aaron Leconte. I'm currently not accepting students for the school year 2025-2026 due to me being on a sabbatical that will take me away from Claremont.

My research lab had two arms: using machine learning to better understand biological data, and interpreting biological organisms as machine learners.  We now have a small third arm: modeling cognitive and social science data to understand which interventions are likely to produce societally positive results.

For past publications, check out my Google Scholar profile!  The SIAM chapter on image compression, which turned into a stealth startup that I am proud to be an advisor for (Awecom, Inc.), is here.  An up-to-date CV is available here: marzen_cv_feb2018.pdf.  And if you want code related to any of my publications, please check my Github, and if it's not there, email me.  I'm happy to share what I have.

Recently, I was profiled in Physics Magazine and Academic Minute for work on opinion dynamics, and profiled in CURESZ as a schizophrenia survivor.
