Theoretical MechanicsRESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS
Statistical Mechanics
Computational Physics
Quantum Mechanics
I have a very wide range of research experience, a unifying theme of which is large-scale scientific computation. Areas in which I have worked include: statistical mechanics; theory of liquids and solids; Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods; structure of disordered systems and fractals; two-dimensional systems and surfaces; plasmas; metals; superfluidity and superconductivity, Low-temperature physics; intermolecular potentials; ionospheric photochemical processes; solar physics; upper atmospheric instrumentation; hydrodynamics; aerodynamics; heat and mass transfer; chemical kinetics; servomechanism stability..
