The 10th Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop (NEGW) will be held at Clark’s Complex Matter and Nonlinear Physics Laboratory on June 8.

“We are expecting more than 40 people from all over the northeast, including our own graduate and undergraduate presenters,” says Clark Physics Prof. Arshad Kudrolli. “The research to be discussed is cutting-edge and will range from pure to applied, challenges in carbon sequestrations to bio locomotion in sand.”

The talks and poster sessions will take place in Sackler Science Center, Johnson Auditorium (Room 120). Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be served. The workshop will include four longer pedagogical talks, approximately five 10-minute contributed talks, and a poster session.

The workshop will begin with breakfast and registration from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. (with the first talk starting at 9:30) and end around 4 p.m.

This year’s Workshop follows the successful traditions of the first seven workshops held at Clark University (2003), Yale University (2004), Wesleyan University (2005), City College of New York (2006), University of Massachusetts, Amherst (2007), Brandeis University (2008), Yale University (2009), Schlumberger-Doll (2010), MIT (2011).
