Research Interests My research interests are in the
areas of condensed matter theory and statistical mechanics with an emphasis,
over the last few years, on the physics of frustrated and amorphous
materials. I have contributed to elucidate the properties of crystalline,
liquid crystalline and He films confined on in-homogeneously curved
substrates. Current work is addressing energy transport and vibrational dynamics
in jammed packings of soft spheres just above the onset of mechanical
rigidity. These simple models offer insights into the physics of granular
materials and glasses.
