O autorze

Bulbul Chakraborty is the Enid and Nate Ancell Professor of Physics at Brandeis University. Her research focuses on theory of soft condensed matter. She obtained her doctorate from Stony Brook University with a thesis on superconductivity. Her early work focused on strongly correlated electronic systems, including high Tc superconductors. Her recent research has focused on developing a statistical mechanics framework for granular media and other disordered systems that are non-thermal. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society.
