The research
performed by me and my coworkers covers several areas of equilibrium
and nonequilibrium statistical. A portion of our efforts is devoted
to the kinetic theory of small-molecule fluids with emphasis recently
directed to microscale fluid dynamics specific to the picosecond
time scale and distances of a few angstroms, and transport and relaxation
in chemically reactive and polar liquids. Other topics of current
concern include light scattering from dilute polymeric solutions,
electrophoresis, hydrodynamic screening, diffusion, the viscosity
of suspensions, renormalization group theory, the statistical mechanics
of rubber elasticity and picosecond reaction kinetics.
