Current Oxford Teaching

I am currently teaching a graduate course on Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics as a part of the Oxford MMathPhys programme. The course is offered every Hilary Term, and covers the following topics:

  • Stochastic Langevin dynamics
  • Brownian motion
  • Nonequilibrium kinetics
  • Master equation
  • Number fluctuations and Doi formalism
  • Fokker-Planck equation
  • Kramers rate theory and mean first-passage time
  • Brownian ratchets
  • Multiplicative noise
  • Path integral formulation and Martin-Siggia-Rose method
  • Fluctuation theorems
  • Synchronization and Kuramoto model

Past Oxford Teaching

I have, in the past, taught the 1st year physics undergraduate lectures on vector calculus and multiple integrals. To receive a copy of my lecture notes, you can email your request to the following address: golestanian-office@ds.mpg.de
