Research

Students
"After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes."
Attention
"My life as a working theorist began three months after this preliminary study and background reading, when Oscar gently nudged me toward working on a particular problem."

Home
