About
Researchers in the Dynamics Imaging lab study complex dynamics in a variety of systems, ranging dense suspensions to shaking sand to cytoskeletal proteins to migrating neurons. Using the techniques of statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics, together with advanced imaging techniques, image processing, and computer simulations, they are trying to develop quantitative, testable descriptions of multifaceted, interacting, ever changing systems that might at first glance seem like a complicated mess.
Descriptions of a few of the more mature or completed projects can be found on these pages:
