| Research areas:
Heat conduction and mode lifetimes in insulators: One area is the study of heat conduction in insulators. Through the use of idealized models of lattice vibration, we study the detailed mechanisms by which energy is distributed among modes in coupled systems, which also reveals the means by which heat is transported in insulating solids. This work combines modern formalism of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics with results of numerical models. First Principles of Physics: The other area is the development of physics from connecting everything back to our immediate sensorial contact with real physical things. I teach introductory physics with calculus (mechanics, E&M, quantum mechanics) using Dr. Anthony Rizzi's new textbook series "Physics for Realists". |
