They investigate systems far from equilibrium where random fluctuations occur. This proves especially crucial when examining dynamics in nano- and bio-science, where even minor fluctuations can influence large-scale behaviors. Their research aims to establish fundamental principles for dynamic processes involving significant fluctuations while primarily applying this framework to emerging single-molecule experiments now common in biological studies.
Their physics PhD program trains graduates for diverse scientific careers. Doctoral candidates gain the expertise required to pursue top-tier scientific research or education, leading to opportunities in R&D across academic institutions, government agencies, and private sector organizations.
The department provides research options spanning theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to astronomy, astrophysics, biophysics, as well as condensed matter and materials physics. PhD students collaborate with faculty mentors to design customized study plans, ultimately defending original dissertation research meeting publication standards.
