At these workshops we bring together talks from researchers in the New York area as well as an additional keynote speaker. The rest of the time will be taken up by short (2 min.) presentations. These presentations give the audience a flavor for the research topic and techniques used to address the research problem discussed. The overall goal is to give the audience an overview of the type of research techniques being used and problems being studied in the New York area.

Itai is working with Redshift productions and Maren Waldman, a choreographer and dancer, to create a dance and spoken word performance focused on motion at different length scales.

We work in collaboration with the Procter & Gamble Company to understand the flow and breakup of complex fluids.  In particular, we study the pinch-off dynamics of fluids (e.g. lyotropic surfactants and thermotropic liquid crystals) possessing liquid crystalline order.
