Research Interests: Strongly non-equilibrium phenomena with applications to materials science and biology. We are interested in the basic aspects of the structural glass transition in amorphous intermetallic compounds, the metal-insulator transition, puzzling photoemission effects observed in simple metals, and triboelectricity. Our biology project focuses on the poorly understood phenomenon of mesoscopic aggregation in protein solutions, during which long-lived domains of a metastable protein-rich phase form, in conflict with standard notions of thermodynamics. Also, we have developed a free-energy based method of machine learning, with potential applications to structure prediction for complex inorganic solids and beyond.
