We are generally interested in understanding the relationship between the macroscopic behavior of complex materials and their microstructures. Complex materials under study include heterogeneous materials (e.g., composites and porous media), colloids, liquids, glasses and crystals. This includes our current work on random particle packings in low dimensions (including M&Ms and ellipsoids), sphere packings in high dimensions, optimal multifunctional material design, and self-assembly theory. We are also engaged in a research program to model tumor growth.
