I work in the Physics Department at Duke University, in Dr. Robert Behringer's experimental nonlinear flow group. Our group, a part of Duke's Center for Nonlinear and Complex Systems (CNCS), studies characteristics of driven and undriven granular systems as well as fluid flow in porous media.

	My research interests: I am studying two-dimensional granular flows, in both driven and purely cooling systems. I have also studied pattern formation in a Taylor-Couette system with spatial inhomogeneities.
	My publications and presentations.
	My CV.
