Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey Olafsen is an Associate Professor of Physics at Baylor University, Texas. His research focuses on experimental nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics, including granular systems, biomechanics and imaging algorithms. He grew up in Panama City, Florida and obtained undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1989. He then attended Duke University and received his physics MA in 1991 and his physics PhD in 1994. Klappentext A unique and detailed discussion of both the contemporary experimental and computational manifestations of soft condensed matter systems. Zusammenfassung Featuring contributions from leading researchers in the field! this book uniquely discusses both the contemporary experimental and computational manifestations of soft condensed matter physics. It will equip graduate students and experienced researchers for collaborative and interdisciplinary research efforts relating to a range of modern problems in nonlinear and non-equilibrium systems.
