Investigating Quantum Processes in Disordered Materials
… duality of richness and unpredictability of the physics of electrons in the presence of disorder that this dissertation investigates, bridging theory, experiment and new techniques. In the first part of this dissertation, we develop the techniques needed to investigate such processes through …

A tale of two microbes: Computational investigations of biological processes in escherichia and methanosarcina at multiple scales
… phenomena, while grounded in the laws of physics and chemistry, often exhibit behaviours too complex to be ascribed to a single electron density, bond vibration or chemical reaction. Rather, the processes inherent to living organisms---adaptation, growth, homeostasis, metabolism, …

Rare events and dynamics in non-equilibrium systems
… that lie within the purview soft matter physics. In the first part, we study the infinite-dimensional probability space of stochastic differential equations. In particular, we study the transition path ensemble (TPE), the set of transition paths between meta-stable states of Ito …

Activation processes in biology
Many processes in physics and biology can be understand through the framework of escape from a metastable state, including (but not limited to) the rates of chemical reactions, the unfolding of proteins, the nucleation of bubbles, and the condensation of gases. To understand the kinetics of these …
