I work on nonequilibrium statistical physics and biophysics — finding the simple local rules that add up to complex collective behavior, and building the models, simulations, and tools to actually run them.

From the Journal
- Entropy and the arrow of time
Physicists say no law is more sacred than the second law of thermodynamics. With the help of a stopwatch, a box of coins, and a little fifth-grade counting, you can see what entropy really is and why time only runs one way.
- The passion for
learninggradesCollege students are more worried about their test scores than their actual understanding of the content they are learning, to no fault of their own. Read about this issue and my proposed solution on the Emory Wheel.
- Symmetry transformations of fields
How scalar, vector, covector, and general tensor fields transform under the symmetries of a group.
Get in touch
I'm midway through my PhD and thinking about what comes next, in research or in industry. If you work on problems where modeling and simulation matter, I'd like to hear from you.
