Biography
Scott V. Franklin is a professor in the Department of Physics at Rochester Institute of Technology, where he runs a lab that focuses on experimental and computational investigations of granular and other complex materials. His recent research interests include rod-like and other materials that, due solely to particle shape, can maintain a solid-like rigidity. He earned a PhD from The University of Texas at Austin.
Mark D. Shattuck is a professor in the Benjamin Levich Institute and Department of Physics at The City College of New York, where he performs experimental and computational research in soft condensed matter and granular materials. He is an editor of the journal Granular Matter and a founding organizer of the annual regional meeting "Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop." He also served on the Publication Oversight Committee of the American Physical Society. He earned a PhD from Duke University.
"This is a comprehensive and engaging collection … by top researchers in the burgeoning field of granular materials. It connects together the combined advances in experimental, theoretical, and computational methods as well as the resulting new understanding that has emerged. This makes it a great and much-needed reference for scientists and engineers at many levels, ranging from beginning graduate students to seasoned experts."
—Douglas J. Durian, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania
