SubscribeHeady mathematics: Describing popping bubbles in a foam
May 9, 2013:
Applied mathematicians James Sethian and Robert Saye from UC Berkeley and Berkeley Lab have discovered a way to mathematically describe the evolution of bubbles in a foam, and have used the equations to create a computer-generated video showing how the process proceeds.
Sethian, Saye win Cozzarelli Prize for applied math paper
February 21, 2012:
Two UC Berkeley and LBNL mathematicians, James Sethian and Robert Saye, have won the Cozzarelli Prize from the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences for their paper on a new numerical method for tracking large numbers of interacting and evolving phases of materials. The prize is named after the late UC Berkeley biochemist & PNAS editor Nicholas Cozzarelli.
