The research of Igor Stanković is concerned with correlations between structure and transport characteristics of gases, liquids, and solids. He uses statistical physics to establish connections between the macroscopic properties of matter and the microscopic properties of its constituents.

Researh fields of interest are:

• Transport in porous media
• Multi-scale modeling
• Dry friction in metals
• Mechanical alloying

The methods used are:

• Molecular dynamics computer simulation
• Kinetic theory
• Irreversible thermodynamics
• Analytical and numerical solutions
