Salvatore Torquato's research is centered in statistical physics and condensed matter theory. He seeks unifying and rigorous principles to explain a broad range of phenomena, especially the interplay between physics and geometry. Topics include quantifying disorder/order in condensed phases, jammed states, sphere packings, random media, degenerate ground states, and hyperuniformity.
