US-India Planning Visit: Collaborative Research Project on the Statistical Mechanics of Granular Materials

该奖项支持美国-印度计划访问：颗粒材料统计力学的合作研究。布兰迪斯大学的美国PI Chakraborty将访问孟买塔塔基础研究所的Deepak Dhar教授和班加罗尔印度科学研究所的Chandan Dasgupta教授和Sriram Ramaswamy教授。他们将完成一项合作，开发一个理论框架来描述颗粒组合和干扰过渡的集体特性。印度合作者是印度两家知名研究机构的非平衡统计力学和无序系统领域的主要理论家。他们将讨论的主题属于颗粒系统理论，并与Chakraborty？目前的研究得到了DMR（0549762）的支持。这次计划中的访问不仅将为目前的资助增加一个国际组成部分，而且将通过与印度著名科学家的合作扩大其范围并增加高智力价值。

0819676Bulbul ChakrabortyThis award supports the US-India Planning Visit: Collaborative Research on the Statistical Mechanics of Granular Materials. US PI Chakraborty of Brandeis University will visit Professor Deepak Dhar, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai and Professors Chandan Dasgupta and Sriram Ramaswamy, Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore. They will finalize a collaboration on developing a theoretical framework to describe collective properties of granular assemblies and the jamming transition. The Indian collaborators are leading theorists in the field of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and disordered systems at two well-known research institutions in India. The topics they will address fall within the theory of granular systems and are closely related to Chakraborty?s current research supported by DMR (0549762). This planning visit will not only add an international component to the current grant, but will extend its scope and add high intellectual value through collaboration with renowned Indian scientists.
