PHYS CS 5 - Winter 2026
Undergraduate Colloquium, University of California, Santa Barbara, College of Creative Studies, 2026
I taught this ten-week undergraduate colloquium on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics under the supervision of Ian Banta. The course developed stochastic and microscopic descriptions of systems away from thermal equilibrium, with topics including stochastic processes, transport, Brownian motion, Fokker-Planck dynamics, kinetic theory, hydrodynamics, and projection-operator methods.
