My area of research specialization is theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. I use analytical techniques as well as computer simulation methods in my research. My main interest is in materials and systems composed of a large number of interacting objects - depending on what I am studying, these objects could be electrons, magnetic spins, or soap-bubbles.
My current research is primarily in the field of Complex fluids, also known as structured fluids or "soft" condensed matter. I also have an interest in using computer technology as an educational tool for visualizing and understanding abstract physical concepts. You can look at examples of the Java applets I have contributed to as part of a curriculum development project for Statistical Physics.
I have a variety of projects, listed below, available for students interested in doing independent study or senior thesis research projects.
