Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
Our research is of theoretical and computational nature, and focuses on mesoscale theories of nonequilibrium phenomena in extended systems, with applications to Statistical Mechanics, Soft Matter Physics, and Materials Science. Generically, systems outside of thermodynamic equilibrium involve unstable interfaces and moving topological defects. We develop theories at the mesoscale of the relevant phases, analyze their macroscopic scale asymptotics, and obtain their non equilibrium properties…

Simon's Collaboration on the Localization of Waves
Principal Investigator, Department of Materials (UCSB), Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves
Prof. Speck's early work focused on epitaxial oxide films on semiconductors, ferroelectric thin films, and strain relaxation in highly misfitting epitaxial systems. He has worked extensively on the materials science of GaN and related alloys. Major aspects of his work on nitrides include elucidating basic growth modes and defect generation, the development of MBE growth of GaN, and the development of nonpolar and semipolar GaN. In 2008, Speck and his longtime collaborators founded Soraa…

Sapatnekar Research Group Site
My research is primarily in the area of computer-aided design (CAD) of VLSI systems. Advances in integrated circuit technologies allow us to build progressively larger systems, with increasing numbers of transistors. On the other hand, circuit components, such as transistors and wires, shrink in size from one technology…

Gloria Becker Lubkin Chair in Theoretical Physics, William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute
Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
Member, Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics
My research is in the area of particle physics and cosmology. The main topics on which I work are: big bang nucleosynthesis, which is an explanation of the origin of the light element isotopes through 7Li; particle dark matter; big bang baryogenesis, which is an explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in nature; and inflation which is a theory constructed to resolve many outstanding problems in standard cosmology.
