Hi! I'm a Professor in the Boston University
Physics Department, as well as a member of
the Center for BioDynamics,
the Center for Polymer Studies, and an
external faculty member at the Santa Fe
Institute. 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,
the Journal of
Statistical Physics,
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. Below is a gallery of images from some recent
projects. Click on each image to get a full-size image, a more detailed
description of the phenomenon, a link to a page that provides more detail
about each project.

errata to "A Guide to First-Passage Processes" (regrettably

please let me know.
"A Kinetic View of Statistical
Physics" by P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner, and E. Ben Naim
(Cambridge University Press, 2010) was completed and sumitted to the
publisher on January 2, 2010. This graduate text on non-equilibrium
statistical physics will appear in print in the autumn of
2010. Click here for the table of contents and
preface.
