Martin Z. Bazant

My research interests are in physical applied mathematics. Current topics is include electrokinetic phenomena in microfluidic devices and colloids, electrochemical dynamics in rechargeable batteries, and dense granular flow.

I also enjoy playing guitar, skiing and oil painting.

For the 2007-2008 academic year, I am on sabbatical leave at Ecole Superieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles in the Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie Theorique.
