Research Interests

My general research interests are in theoretical and computational kinetic theories and statistical mechanics. I also have a special interest on pattern formation, non-equilibrium and the complexity science. I have been using theoretical modeling as well as computational tools such as molecular dynamics and phase-field method to study and model different aspects of non-equilibrium phenomenon in condensed matter regime. To date my work in the lab has been focused on using molecular simulations to model transport coefficients in plasmas and warm dense matter.
