Martin Feinberg works on the mathematical theory of chemical reaction networks, developing rigorous frameworks for predicting how complex chemical systems behave based on the structure of their reactions rather than detailed kinetic measurements. More recently, his work has extended into the mathematical foundations of classical thermodynamics, using tools from functional analysis (such as the Hahn-Banach theorem) to derive concepts like entropy and temperature from first principles. This research is mathematical and theoretical, aimed at putting existing scientific concepts on firmer, more general logical footing.
Publication output was highly uneven over the last decade, with a large cluster of works (a book's chapters) appearing in 2019, several quiet years, and a modest, steady trickle of papers on thermodynamics foundations since 2022.
