CAREER: Geometrical Approaches to Strongly Correlated Condensed Matter

9984471 Kondev这个职业奖颁给了布兰迪斯大学物理系的一位年轻的新成员。 该奖项将整合他的职业规划的研究和教育方面。 在研究方面，他计划在三个不同的项目中进行研究：（1）构建新的措施来表征湍流流动和湍流平流实验中获得的图像数据。 (2)研究球状蛋白质的简单晶格模型，以发展二级结构理论，并研究不同紧密状态之间的相变。 最后的计画包括（3）理论上了解临界逾渗团簇在量子霍尔效应中电子定域化的角色。 在教育方面，计划开设一门关于有效理论作为普遍范式的课程。 这种方法超越了传统的学科划分，探索了物理现象在不同长度和时间尺度上的演变。布兰迪斯大学物理系的年轻新成员正在通过这个职业资助支持研究和教育在他的职业计划的整合。 他计划教授一门关于有效理论的课程，即方法和模型-如何为给定的物理现象发展理论。 他的研究都是关于统计力学的几何方面。 他想提供一个衡量一个动荡过程的图像。 他想研究球状蛋白质及其二级结构。 他还想研究电子运动的曲折路径，作为量子霍尔效应阈值的描述。

9984471KondevThis CAREER award goes to a young, new member of the Brandeis University physics department. The award goes to integrate the research and education aspects of his career plan. In research, he plans to carry out studies in three different projects: (1) to construct new measures to characterize the image data obtained in experiments on turbulent fluid flow and turbulent advection. (2) A study of simple lattice models of globular proteins to develop a theory of secondary structure and to study phase transitions between different compact states. The final project consists of (3) theoretical understanding of the role played by critical percolation clusters in localization of electrons in the quantum Hall effect. In education, there are plans to develop a course on the idea of an effective theory as a universal paradigm. This approach, transcending over the conventional divisions of a subject explores the evolution of physical phenomena over different length and time scales.%%%The young, new member of the Brandeis University physics department is being supported by this CAREER grant for integration of research and education in his career plans. He plans to teach a course on effective theory, i.e. methods and models- how does one develop a theory for a given physical phenomena. His research is all on geometric aspects of statistical mechanics. He wants to provide a measure to an image of a turbulent process. He wants to study globular proteins and their secondary structures. He also wants to study the meandering pathways through which an electron moves, as a study in a description of thresholds in quantum Hall effect.***
