Professor of Physics --- Theoretical Soft Condensed Matter Physics
A.B. (Physics) Cornell University, 1984.
Ph.D. (Physics) University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign , 1991.


My research is primarily in complex fluids, including biological "fluids" (membranes, polymers, etc), from the point of view of a condensed matter physicist interested in statistical mechanics. In addition I teach a few courses. movie
