Specifikacia The Role of Topology in Materials
1. Gareth Alexander (University of Warwick), [email protected] matter, twisted materials.Assistant Professor in Physics and Complexity Science. His primary interests are in applications of geometry and topology to the understanding of soft material systems, in general and defects in liquid crystals, in particular, and self-propulsion in low Reynolds number hydrodynamics and active matter. Working with Randy Kamien (University of Pennsylvania), he became an authority in this area with a recent publications "Instabilities and Solitons in Minimal Strips", Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 017801 (2016). with Thomas Machon, Raymond E. Goldstein, and Adriana I. Pesci; "Global Defect Topology in Nematic Liquid Crystals", Proc. R. Soc. A 472, 20160265 (2016) with Thomas Machon; "Umbilic Lines in Orientational Order", Phys. Rev. X
