Professor Kudrolli received a B. Tech. in engineering physics from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay in 1990 and a Ph.D. in physics (electromagnetic and microwave chao) with S. Sridhar from Northeastern University in 1995. He has been at Clark since 1997.
His background includes a post-doc in nonlinear physics and pattern formation with Jerry Gollub at Haverford College.
Professor Kudrolli does experiments on a broad range of non-equilibrium phenomena, granular materials, and biological physics. Topics of recent experiments include grain shape and dynamics, scaled-up ciliary flow and synchronization, crumpling, self-assembly, erosion geomorphology, and population dynamics in bacterial colonies. He has recently developed an undergraduate continuum mechanics course combining fluid dynamics and biomechanics, and an activity based introductory physics course. Visit the complex matter and nonlinear physics laboratory page for more information on current research activities.
Professor Kudrolli has been named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow by the Sloan Foundation, and is a recipient of a Research Innovation Award from Research Corporation and a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. His research is currently funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
