Models and Analogy in Science

In this project, my research adviser and I are working to better understand the relationship between scientific models, theories and analogies. In addition to this, a focal point of our research is deciphering the ‘problems of scale’ that present themselves in the development of computational models of physical systems. Furthermore, we wish to deeply examine the relationship that the different types of models (conceptual, computational, physical,…) have in the progression of science and the understanding of phenomena.
