A paper describing Paul Dannenberg's (Physics '13) undergraduate research on noise-induced transitions in nonlinear systems has recently appeared in Physical Review Letters. The paper is titled "Steering Most Probable Escape Paths by Varying Relative Noise Intensities" and can be viewed here. This research was commenced during Paul's senior year at Duke and was supervised by Prof. Stephen Teitsworth and done in collaboration with John Neu, Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke. Dannenberg will be attending Harvard Medical School in Fall 2014.
