Research in my group focuses broadly on the analysis of energy and fluid systems. We use tools from thermodynamics, statistical physics, applied mathematics and computation to understand problems where non-equilibrium is important, particularly if dynamics and complex structure play a key role.

Non-equilibrium phenomena are common in nature and play a critical role in energy production, evolution, chemical reactions, and even economics. The focus of our research is to understand how non-equilibrium processes influence the macro-scale behavior of systems, particularly those that can be used to produce energy.
