Theoretical and Computational Statistical Physics
|
Our group consists of three faculty members
with an interest in equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of
matter, including the emergence of complex collective behavior.
Investigations concern pattern formation under far from equilibrium
conditions,
the
physics of the glass transition, fracture propagation in glasses
under thermal stress, dynamical synchronization in complex networks,
self-organized criticality,optimization,
quantum-field theory and the
renormalization group studies of disordered systems,
nonequilibrium
growth phenomena,fractals, kinetic roughening of surface and
interfaces, and similar subjects.
