Presidential Young Investigator Award

理论凝聚态物理将研究扩散限制聚集物理中的多重分形和随机游走方法与电化学中的物理问题之间的关系。两个问题，即电沉积中的图案形成和粗糙表面上双层阻抗的频率依赖性，可以用与扩散限制聚集中使用的算法密切相关的随机游走算法来处理。其他研究领域将包括多相催化、腐蚀、电流变液和无序超导体。

Research in theoretical condensed matter physics will be conducted on the relation between multifractal and random walk methods arising in the physics of diffusion-limited aggregation and physical problems in electrochemistry. Two problems, pattern formation in electrodeposition, and the frequency dependence of the double layer impedance at a rough surface, may be treated using random walk algorithms closely related to those used in diffusion-limited aggregation. Other areas of research will include heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, electro-rheological fluids and disordered superconductors.
