David S. Corti works on molecular thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, using theory and Monte Carlo computer simulations to study how molecules and particles arrange themselves during processes like crystallization, phase changes, and droplet coalescence. He also studies colloidal systems (tiny particles suspended in liquid) and develops improved methods for measuring surface forces using atomic force microscopy. His work bridges fundamental physics/mathematics of small systems with practical applications in nanoparticle and surfactant behavior.

Publication output has remained fairly steady over the last decade, fluctuating between roughly 2 and 5 papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
