About this Item

Hardcover. This volume of the Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, Second Edition, focuses on current challenges in the field from materials and mechanics to applications of statistical and nonlinear physics in the life sciences. Challenges today are mostly in the realm of non-equilibrium systems, although certain equilibrium systems also present serious hurdles. Where possible, pairwise articles focus on a single topic, one from a theoretical perspective and the other from an experimental one, providing valuable insights. In other cases, theorists and experimentalists have collaborated on a single article. Coverage includes both quantum and classical systems, and emphasizes 1) mature fields that are not covered in the current specialist literature, (2) topics that fall through the cracks in disciplinary journals/books, or (3) developing areas where the knowledge base is large and robust and upon which future developments will depend. The result is an invaluable resource for condensed matter physicists, material scientists, engineers and life scientists. This volume of the Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, Second Edition, focuses on current challenges in the field from materials and mechanics to applications of statistical and nonlinear physics in the life sciences. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

Bulbul Chakraborty is the Enid and Nate Ancell Professor of Physics at Brandeis University. Her research focuses on theory of soft condensed matter. She obtained her doctorate from Stony Brook University with a thesis on superconductivity. Her early work focused on strongly correlated electronic systems, including high Tc superconductors. Her recent research has focused on developing a statistical mechanics framework for granular media and other disordered systems that are non-thermal. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society.
