My research interests:  My research as a physicist centers on mathematical/computational modeling of complex systems, and spans a wide range of scientific fields and phenomena both inside and outside of physics. Some examples include (not in any particular order):

  • opinion-dynamics models, describing how ideas spread across a society

  • network theory, with applications to human brains, demographics, etc.

  • nonlinear dynamical systems, chaos, and bifurcation theory

  • pattern formation and symmetries, with applications to fluid convection and stars

  • combinatorial games

  • economic and queuing systems

  • synchronization in Josephson junction arrays

  • applications of renormalization
