Prof Ford’s research interests lie in the area of statistical physics, particularly soft condensed matter and biological physics. He is particularly interested in a theoretical understanding of the nucleation of a phase transition, such as condensation of aerosols or freezing of liquids, and in nonequilibrium entropy-producing processes in general, such as heat flow, diffusion and indeed nucleation, particularly through the framework of stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuation relations.
