Theoretical research is carried out in various areas of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
My research is carried out using the complementary techniques of analytical theory and computer simulation. The computer simulations play a role analogous to that of experiment. The computer simulation results can be a useful guide to the conceptual abstractions required in analytical theory. In the area of analytical theory I work both on the development of formal theory and model calculations. Jeffrey Kovac, Professor, received the B.A. dregree in chemistry from Reed College in 1970.
