Professor Evans has made outstanding contributions to extending classical statistical mechanics to modern systems. He is regarded internationally as the originator of the Fluctuation Theorems, which extend our understanding of the thermodynamics of small systems observed over a short time. His work resolves unsettled foundations in thermodynamics that persisted over 100 years, unifies the field of thermodynamics, and provides rigorous simulation methods that are widely used today.
This talk is part of a multi-venue tour. Other dates and venues in 2015 are:
8 October – University of Queensland
27 November - University of Tasmania
30 November - 1 December; Keynote speaker, Statistical Mechanics of Soft Matter 2015 - Swinburne University of Technology
3 December – Australian National University
9 – 11 December: Keynote speaker, ANZAMP Meeting 2015 - Newcastle
