Research Interests
Research
I'm a graduate student working with Paul Goldbart on a broad range of problems in soft- and quantum- condensed matter. My recent research interests include:
- a model of protein regulation arising from changes in thermal fluctuation-correlations due to binding a regulator molecule
- hydrogel buckling instability resulting from a rapid solvent-quality quench
- geometric phases in quantum and classical condensed matter; quantum control
