Welcome to the home page of the Statistical Physics Group! We are one of the research groups in the Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems at Coventry University. We work on a range of problems in the theory of statistical physics: complex systems formed of many particles for which a statistical description is essential. We have particular interests in quantum and out-of-equilibrium systems.
