About me:
My research encompasses an array of topics in condensed matter physics, complex systems, and disordered systems, including the behavior of dislocations and plastic properties in metals. I enjoy exploring non-equilibrium dynamics and pattern formations within various systems, notably studying the evolving structure of film surfaces during thin film growth. Additionally, my interests extend to the fascinating world of graph theory, particularly in understanding random walks on graphs, unraveling complex pathways in diverse networks. Statistical mechanics, especially concepts like fluctuation theorem and entropy, form a significant part of my exploration, providing insights into the fundamental laws governing the behavior of matter, energy and information.
