List of Jamming Projects

Experiment - Forces Between 2D Emulsions Compressed Beyond the Jamming Point

Using 2D emulsion systems to study the universal properties of jamming. (Click here for website)

Simulation - Random Close Packing of Disks and Spheres in Confined Geometries

Studied the effects confinement has on the random close packing of disk in 2D and spheres in 3D (Click here for website) (Publication)

Experiment - Jamming of three-dimensional prolate granular materials

Studied the phase behavior of the force needed to pull a small object through a pile of rods, and the packing fraction dependence on aspect ratio. (Click here for website) (Publication)
