Derek Frydel

I teach physical chemistry and do research on various aspects of theoretical physical chemistry and physics. Recently I focus on the area of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. My goal is to find theoretical methods to understand simple models of active particles.

Since my graduation in 2006, I work in academia where I am involved in teaching and research. I teach general massive courses as well as elective courses for small groups of interested students. My research interests span soft matter, nano-matter, biophysics, statistical mechanics, electrostatics, hydrodynamics, and computational physics and chemistry.
