Menon group: Experimental nonequilibrium physics |
|
Home |
We are a research lab in the
condensed
matter physics group in the Physics
Department at UMass Amherst. We do
experimental work in nonequilibrium
statistical physics, primarily on soft-condensed matter systems.
News Applications will soon open for the fifth edition of our summer school on Soft Solids and Complex Fluids for graduate students in statistical physics and soft matter physics. January 2012 New preprint on wrinkling and crumpling instabilities (under review): A sheet on a drop reveals wrinkling and crumpling as distinct symmetry-breaking instabilities October 2011 Hunter King was awarded an APS student visitation fellowship to spend a month in Shankar Ghosh's lab at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. September 2011 Dominique Cambou's paper entitled: Three-dimensional structure of a sheet crumpled into a ball was published in PNAS. See coverage in Physics Today, Wired and New Scientist August 2011 Kevin Facto defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled: Measurements of Gravity Driven Granular Channel Flows. His dissertation included NMR measurements of grain-flows done in Don Candela's group as well as work on channel flows in our group. Congratulations, Kevin.
