My Research Interests
I am interested in physical and mathematical problems related to the dynamical
behavior of systems in general and soft-condensed matter systems in particular.
These interests are not limited to using methods of statistical physics to
problems arising in physics, but also comprise the mathematical methods used to
investigate these problems.
Currently I am working on
Field theory of reaction-diffusion systems
Multilayer Markov chains related to polymer flows
A movie of a simple model of a polymer in shear flow. The system exhibits
cyclic dynamics.
Dynamics, bifurcations and chaos in mode-locked semiconductor lasers
Routes to chaos and shear banding instabilities in polymer flows
Translocation of polymers through a pore
