Duke University was well represented at the annual APS March Meeting this year: 60 contributed presentations plus 8 invited talks. The APS bills the March Meeting as “the largest physics meeting in the world, focusing on research from industry, universities, and major labs.” Using the “affiliation” search function, here is a webpage with a list of all of our papers. You can see that a wide variety of work from several departments at Duke is represented. In particular, the invited talks were:
Prof. Patrick Charbonneau: Session M42.00001 “High-dimensional surprises neat the glass and the jamming transitions”
Postdoctoral Associate Joshua Dijksman: Session Z2.00004 “Dilatancy and Diffusion in Sheared Granular Materials”
