Far-from-equilibrium Processes in Physical Systems: Theory and Modeling

We utilize the concepts and methods of non-equilibrium statistical physics and multiscale modeling to develop predictive models and simulation algorithms for a range of physical, chemical, and materials systems. Focus areas and applications include: (i) self-assembly and stability of metallic nanoclusters; (ii) nanostructured and nanoporous catalytic materials; (iii) non-linear reaction-diffusion processes; (iv) non-equilibrium phase transitions.
