At the Physical Mathematics Lab we are interested in fundamental problems that find motivation in physics and engineering. Our projects are interdisciplinary; we combine theory, simulations & experiments to unveil and rationalize new natural phenomena.
News
Jan'25 | Our paper galloping bubbles accepted for publication at Nature Communications!
We introduce a new symmetry breaking that makes vibrated bubbles self-propelled in a direction perpendicular to the driving.
Nov'24 | Our galloping bubbles received a Gallery of Fluid Motion Award!
Check out our video submission to the American Physical Society DFD meeting.
Sept'24 | Our paper hydrodynamic analog of Anderson localization published in PRX!
The article describes how wave-dressed classical particles may localize like quantum particles in disordered environments.
