Curriculum Vitae

Bio

I'm a Professor in the Boston University Physics Department, as well as a member of the Center for BioDynamics and the Center for Polymer Studies. For the 2004-05 academic year, I was on leave as the Ulam Scholar at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory. I am also a member of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General Physics, the American Journal of Physics, JSTAT, the Journal of Statistical Mechanics, and the Journal of Informetrics. My research field is statistical and theoretical condensed-matter physics. I have specific interests in non-equilibrium stochastic processes, chemical kinetics, diffusion and non-linear processes in disordered media, and the structure of growing networks.
