General Area: Experimental soft condensed matter physics.

Specific Interests: Microscopy of colloidal glasses, nonlinear dynamics, complex fluids, and granular media. In our lab we study the properties and dynamics of complex fluids, mainly using microscopy. What happens when glasses solidify? What behavior do we see in materials when they are out of equilibrium? What happens when we push the limits of applications of statistical mechanics, by studying simple materials such as shaving cream foam or sand piles?
