Nonequilibrium energy transport in heterogeneous nanoscale semiconductors
… in energy and space, there exist static and dynamical heterogeneity in nanoscale semiconductors. To control energy transport and improve their device efficiencies, this thesis presents nonequilibrium energy transport models to understand the effect of nanoscale heterogeneity on material-wide …

Time Reparametrization Symmetry and Spatial-Temporal Fluctuations in Glasses
… dynamics of glasses and other complex systems. Dynamical heterogeneity, initially proposed to explain non exponential relaxation, has been found in simulations and experiments of glassy systems. The origin of dynamical heterogeneity remains poorly understood, despite growing evidence that glass …

Lattice models of glasses and Potts models for community detection
… requirements set by the observed phenomena of dynamical heterogeneity of supercooled liquids, though with a drastically different theoretical basis from existing lattice models of glasses based on kinetic facilitation. We then proceed to perform a more detailed comparison between lattice glass …

Design of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles to Mimic Globular Proteins
… collapse into compact globular structures with dynamical heterogeneity and slow dynamics due to glassy backbone. Properties including compactness, monomer hydration, and potential to stabilize membrane protein are largely insensitive to sequence, but strongly depend on composition. At the core …
