Robert Behringer works in granular materials, fluids and statistical mechanics. His Ph.D. probed the liquid-gas critical point of liquid helium. His post-doctoral work used the special properties of liquid helium to probe Rayleigh-Benard convection as well as properties of the superfluid helium. As an assistant professor at Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT), he carried out studies of convection as well as heat and mass transport. Since 1982, he has been at Duke University, where he has studied granular materials, convection, flow in porous media, and quantum fluids. He was among a small...Read more
