P. E. Sokol studies the behavior of quantum fluids such as liquid helium and hydrogen at very low temperatures, especially when they are trapped inside tiny pores or reduced to one dimension. The work combines experiments (like neutron scattering and heat capacity measurements) with computational methods to understand phenomena such as superfluidity and how these materials behave under confinement.
