My expertise is in Statistical Physics.
I perform theoretical and experimental studies on nonequilibrium systems.
Main research subjects include growing interfaces, coarsening dynamics, and percolation theory.
Coding (Fortran, Python, etc.). Monte Carlo Simulations. Cluster analysis.
Thin-film growth techniques. Poly-crystals. Atomic Force Microscopy.
Liquid crystals. Optical microscopy. Electro-hydrodynamic convection.
Surface of a polycrystalline (CdTe) film produced by thermal evaporation in high vacuum. The topography was obtained by atomic force microscopy. Height fluctuations obey the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling laws and distributions.
Domain morphology of a 2D twisted nematic liquid crystal after a quench from a disordered state to a state with two competing phases: right-hand twists (green) and left-hand twists (violet). The largest cluster (orange) has the same geometry of critical clusters in the percolation universality class.
