Nature has various irreversible nonequilibrium phenomena such as diffusion and heat transfer. To understand universal laws behind the nonequilibrium phenomena, I am working on statistical physics. In recent years, I have particularly focused on proposing novel nonequilibrium phenomena by theory and demonstrating those by numerical simulations. These efforts also have relevance to phenomena such as heat transport and dissipation in nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, nanowires, graphene, and other materials considered as low-dimensional substances.

Figure: When a system is driven by shear flow, a novel ordered phase in two dimensions appears which is forbidden in thermal equilibrium.
