Nonequilibrium Phenomena in Multiphase Flow, Transport, and Phase Change in Porous Media: Pore-Level Physics, Network Modeling, and Upscaling
… assumption is oftentimes violated due to the nonequilibrium physical processes in the complex pore spaces within each REV. This dissertation aims to test the equilibrium assumption and study the impact of pore-scale nonequilibrium physics on the REV-scale behaviors in subsurface environment …

Thermodynamics of Biological Active Matter
… point for addressing fundamental questions in nonequilibrium physics, ecology as well as animal behavior. Despite the diverse phenomena observed from active matter, they all share a common feature of breaking the fundamental symmetry of time reversal. Understanding this arrow of time is …

Sensitivity and Memory in Physics and Biology
… abilities arise raises very basic problems in nonequilibrium physics. In Part I, I focus on dissipation and its role as a constraint on nonequilibrium behavior. In Part II, I present a set of simple, universal identities and inequalities constraining the sensitivity properties of nonequilibrium …

The formation of enhanced, low-ionization emission in galactic halos
… latitudes, including exotic processes involving nonequilibrium physics, local grain destruction and decaying dark matter. We demonstrate that the excitation conditions of the diffuse ionized media (DIMs) in several such objects, NGC 891, the Galaxy and NGC 1068, can be understood in terms of …

Fundamental Excitations of Nonconservative Quantum Fluids
… (BECs) has represented a core subject of physics for decades. Recently however, experiments have demonstrated a fundamentally distinct, inherently nonequilibriated class of BEC from photonic quasiparticles known as exciton-polaritons (polaritons). These photonic condensates are free to …
