Eli Ben-Naim

Welcome! I am a theoretical physicist and my reasearch area is nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. My focus is interacting particle systems and their application to soft matter and complex systems. I proudly serve as the deputy group leader of the Physics of Condensed Matter and Complex Systems Group and am an affiliate of the Center of Nonlinear Studies, both at the Theoretical Division in Los Alamos National Laboratory.

I serve as the editor of Physical Review E (Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics)
