Research Interests

rimarily the properties of composite materials, which amounts to studying partial differential equations with rapid oscillations in their coefficients. I'm interested, for example, in how the microstructure influences the effective conductivity and effective elastic properties of composite materials and in identifying optimal composites which have extreme properties, on the boundary of what is possible. These optimal composites often have structure on many length scales, sometimes on infinitely many length scales.

Research Interests

ur research involves fundamental theoretical studies of the dynamics of complex, condensed matter systems. A primary goal of this research is the formulation of predictive mathematical theories to characterize important condensed phase dynamical problems. Such theories are then tested, where possible, by a comparison to experimental results and through computer simulation. A second and equally important goal is to develop new theoretical methods which allow one to maximize the potential of the computer as a research tool. The latter methods are developed, for example, to probe complex phenomena such as quantum dynamical motion in condensed phase or biological environments through computer simulation.
