Research Statement
My research group uses experimental and numerical methods to study
transport phenomena far from thermal equilibrium. One focus is on
nanoelectronic systems, where we investigate non-linear quantum
transport phenomena, symmetry breaking, and efficient thermoelectric
power conversion. We also develop experimental and numerical models for
bio-molecular motors, and explore fluid motion driven by ratchet
phenomena.
The common theme of these research projects is the physics of ratchets and Brownian motors:
the interplay of nonequilibrium, asymmetry, and thermal motion to
create directed transport.
