Research Interests
Since I have arrived at U of I I have worked on a few projects including power-law scaling in higher-order spectra of Barkhausen noise as well as work in chance and necessity with applications in preventing dentritic growth in batteries. I am still open to new topics, and am also keenly interested in non-linear dynamics and chaotic systems.
