We conduct experiments on nonequilibrium/nonlinear systems including granular materials, gels, surfactants, and thin liquid films. Active areas of investigation include:
We are located in the Physics Department in Riddick Lab (see campus map) on the main campus of NC State University, at 2401 Stinson Dr. If you drive to campus, the information booth (marked by a star on the campus map) will direct you to parking. The closest parking deck to Riddick is the Cates Avenue "Coliseum" Deck (cross under the tracks using the nearby tunnel, then turn right to face Riddick). Our offices/labs are on the 2nd floor. You can purchase and print your parking permit ahead of time here so that you do not have to visit the information booth before parking. Kasey Phillips (physics and mathematics major '08) has been awarded an NSF Graduate Fellowship. She will first attend the University of Cambridge to study Applied Mathematics, after which she will move to Harvard University to pursue a PhD in Applied Physics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Coverage of our work with Bob Behringer at Duke University on shaken and sheared granular materials recently appeared in Science Interested undergraduates, graduate students, or prospective postdocs may contact Karen Daniels about research opportunities. NC State students should consider applying for a Research Award, and/or speak to me in person about other research opportunities during the school year. External undergraduate students are encouraged to apply to the REU program organized by the NC State Physics Department. Prospective graduate students should visit the Graduate Programs webpage for information about how to apply to the PhD program in the NC State Physics Department. Prior to our meeting during the course registration period, please prepare a list of what courses you intend to take for at least the next semester. You should confirm that these courses are in fact being offered during the semester in question and that you have already satisfied the prerequisites. You can either use the "Plan of Work" feature on MyPack Portal, email me the list, or bring it written out. Resources:What do physics majors do after graduation? Here are some links to information which looks beyond the "grad school in physics" option.
