Deterministic transport: from normal to anomalous diffusion
… dynamics is one of the important questions in statistical physics. Dynamical systems theory play a key role in a resent advance in this direction. Offering relatively simple models which are easy to study, dynamical systems theory became a standard branch of modern nonequilibrium statistical …

Statistical physics of biological self-organization : case studies in protein folding and adaptation to time-varying fields
In this thesis, we use the methods of statistical physics to provide quantitative insights into the behavior of biological systems. In the first half of the thesis, we use equilibrium statistical physics to develop a phenomenological model of how the hydrophobic effect impacts the structure of …

Control of stochastically interacting systems on networks
… this thesis, using recently developed tools from nonequilibrium statistical physics, accurately characterizes open loop behavior of spreading processes in its stable, neutral and unstable regimes. Such a characterization is not possible using approximate models. Furthermore, for an unstable …

Microscopic Chaos, Fractals, and Transport in Nonequilibrium Steady States. - (Die Veröffentlichung einer ergänzten und überarbeiteten Version bei "World Scientific Publishing" ist für 2005/06 geplant.)
A fundamental challenge is to understand nonequilibrium statistical mechanics starting from microscopic chaos in the equations of motion of a many-particle system. In this thesis we summarize recent theoretical advances along these lines. We focus on two different approaches to nonequilibrium …
