DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will show you how applied mathematics
  plays an important role in the understanding of our natural environment. 
 My research expertise covers granular materials and I have traveled to var
 ious places on this earth to investigate the behavior of snow avalanches i
 n mountains and sand dunes in deserts. Our research group combines field e
 xperiments with laboratory experiments\, in the GK Batchelor laboratory un
 derneath the courtyard of CMS\, and uses mathematical tools to model these
  observations. Our goal is to understand the dynamic behavior of granular 
 flows and potentially even predict some outcomes of avalanches.
