Research Statement
My research group uses experimental and numerical methods to study transport phenomena far from thermal equilibrium. One focus is on nanoelectronic systems, where we investigate non-linear quantum transport phenomena, symmetry breaking, and efficient thermoelectric power conversion. We also develop experimental and numerical models for bio-molecular motors, and explore fluid motion driven by ratchet phenomena.

The common theme of these research projects is the physics of ratchets and Brownian motors: the interplay of nonequilibrium, asymmetry, and thermal motion to create directed transport.
