Research

I am a computational physicist. In other words, my research involves the use of computer simulations to probe a variety of different systems. Just as meteorologists put in the equations to describe our weather and then use computer models to predict future weather, I solve computer models of a wide range of different systems. For example, my recent research interests have involved the spread of COVID-19, the optimum placement of electric charging stations, artificial chemotaxis and drug delivery, water purification, the role of consistency in soup burns, fracture mechanics, and the optimization of chemotherapy drug protocols. 

Here's my list of publications and a copy of my thesis, entitled Computer Modelling of Plastic Deformation and Fracture in Heterogeneous Systems. Below are a brief description of some of the stuff I'm working on.
