Vinay will be giving a couple of talks on diffusion. He will start with discussing the various conventional descriptions of diffusion in equilibrium systems and then some of the recent developments happened in order to generalize the Einstein relation to nonequilibrium systems, will be discussed.

Some of the numerical implementations will also be presented.

Time and venue for the Discussion:

Time: Saturday (Setember 23, 2017), 2 PM
Venue: 326/327
