Research Interests

  • Theoretical and computational condensed matter and materials research; Nonequilibrium statistical physics
  • Advanced multiscale modeling methods across microscopic, mesoscopic, and continuum scales, for the study of complex structural, elastoplastic, and dynamical phenomena and the underlying mechanisms in soft and solid spatiotemporal material systems
  • Applications of multiscale models to the study of materials growth/self-assembly and evolution/processing, system elasticity, plasticity, and topological defects, and nonequilibrium phenomena in complex pattern or nanostructure formation
  • Theory, modeling, and simulation of active matter and living systems that are intrinsically out of equilibrium
