A researcher in statistical mechanics associated with the Crooks fluctuation theorem. His 1999 derivation relates probability distributions of work in a driven process and its reversed protocol to an equilibrium free energy difference. For example, repeated compression and expansion of a small gas sample give fluctuating work values; the relation extracts equilibrium information from those irreversible runs.[ref]
