BIO
Professor of Statistical Mechanics in the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, Oxford University (United Kingdom).
He also collaborates with the University of California, Berkeley, the Max Planck Institute for Metal Research (Germany) and the Center for Non-Linear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratory (United States).
His work focuses on the statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems, with emphasis on exactly-solvable models, structure and phase transitions in surfaces and interfaces and associated non-equilibrium behavior.
