One of the most interesting unsolved problems in present day physics involves investigating the origins of the highest energy cosmic ray events. One of the greatest unsolved problems in physics is a complete theory of fluid turbulence.
Turbulence occurs at all scales over which a system can be described as possessing fluid properties.
My research involves using the Feynman Path Integral formulation of statistical dynamics to calculate correlation functions that characterize the properties of the flow. Hairpin Vortices in the laboratory 2. Jupiter's Great Red spot 3. The study of the distribution of the galaxies in our Universe is part of the great quest for understanding the birth and early history of our Universe. By mathematically analyzing the positions and motions of each galaxy, it is possible to constrain the types of perturbations in an otherwise homogeneous cosmic fluid that gave rise to the filaments, sheets, and voids we perceive today.
