  me.jpg  I am a postdoctoral scholar in the James Franck Institute at the University of Chicago. My research focuses on experiemental condensed matter and soft matter physics. In general, I study non-equilibrium and non-linear physical systems. Here you will find information about my research and teaching interests.
    The huge success of condensed matter physics in describing our modern world relies on the fact that many processes occur at or near equilibrium, where small, linear perturbations can be analyzed. However, a leaky faucet, a pile of sand, or glass window pane are ubiquitous examples of systems that don't fall into this category.
