Professor Jeff Morris

Jeff Morris

Education

Georgia Institute of Technology, BS,1989  

California Institute of Technology, MS, 1991  

California Institute of Technology, PhD, 1996

Courses Taught

Suspension mechanics, colloidal suspensions, fluid mechanics and multiphase flow, rheology.

Research Interests

These are in the properties and dynamics of flowing mixtures, with goal of developing a dynamic materials science. A major focus has been to carry scientific understanding of nonequilibrium microstructure and rheology in sheared suspensions to engineering applications through flow modeling.
