Description of our Research
We are interested in understanding the origin, nature and consequences
of the interactions of physical systems with their environment.
These questions are particularly challenging when the systems are
non-linear and/or their interactions with the enviroment are strong.
The contexts in which we ask these questions are extremely varied, and
our approaches eclectic. We are interested in the equilibirum and
nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of nonlinear classical and
quantum systems. We deal with a variety of phenomenological
stochastic models in which nonlinearity and fluctuations coexist
and this coexistence leads to interesting phenomena that would
not arise but for the complex interplay. We deal with reaction-diffusion
systems and associated pattern formation problems. We are interested
in signal propagation in nonlinear thermal arrays, in the Kramers
problem of chemical reaction rates, in resonant activation phenomena,
in noise induced phase transitions.
We are strictly theoreticians: our methods are analytical and numerical.
The best way to get a more detailed idea about our work is to
