### Paper submitted on the rate of protein production

My new paper with Luca Cinadrini (Université de Montpellier, France) and M. Carmen Romano (University of Aberdeen, UK) addresses a long-standing problem in nonequilibrium statistical physics, namely finding the steady state of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with non-uniform hopping rates. The TASEP is a driven lattice gas of particles moving unidirectionally along a one-dimensional lattice of $L$ sites, whereby each site can hold at most one particle. Particles can enter the lattice at the rate $\alpha$ and leave at the rate $\beta$ (see the schematic figure below).

### Paper accepted in J. Phys. A

My new paper with Martin R. Evans and Satya N. Majumdar on condensation phenomenon in random walks conditioned on large deviations of local time and area under the walk has been accepted for publication in the Emerging Talents Special Issue of J. Phys. A. In our work we consider the reflective (discrete-time and continuous-space) random walk described by the following recurrence equation $$x_t=\textrm{max}\{0,x_{t-1}+\eta_t\}$$ where $x_t$ is position of the random walker at time step $t$ and $\eta_t$, $t=1,2,\dots$ are independent and identically distributed random variables with a common probability density function $K(\eta_t)$.

### Metropolis theme for Beamer

When it comes to making presentations, I prefer a clean, minimalistic design. Generic Beamer themes used to be perfect for that purpose until I realised that everyone is using them.

Recently I discovered an elegant Beamer theme called Metropolis. The features I really like are transition slides with section titles and a progress bar.
