Princeton University, A. B. Physics with High Honors 1987 University of California, Berkeley, Ph. D. Physics 1994 Institute for Nuclear Theory, University of Washington, Postdoc 1994-1996 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Postdoc 1996-1999

My research group and I focus on statistical mechanics at the molecular level. We are particularly interested in the foundations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the application of statistical mechanics to problems of biophysical interest, the analysis of artificial molecular machines, and the development of efficient numerical schemes for estimating thermodynamic properties of complex systems.
