Current Research

My research is in the broad area of statistical condensed matter physics and its applications. I am interested in particular in the dynamics of complex materials such as supercooled liquids and glasses and other soft matter, in problems of molecular and nanoscale assembly that may also be of relevance to biology, and in non-equilibrium in quantum systems. More information on my work, including publications, can be found here.
