معرفی
Mark D. Shattuck is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY), with an additional affiliation at the Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics. His office is located in Steinman Hall (1M-16) and Marshak Hall (419, 328), and he can be reached at shattuck@ccny.cuny.edu or by phone at 212-650-8161.
Professor Shattuck's research spans granular materials, soft matter physics, and computational biophysics. His work in granular systems investigates jamming transitions, non-affine displacement fields, and mechanical properties of deformable particle packings. In soft matter, he examines droplet/bubble dynamics, shear-thickening suspensions, and capillary phenomena. His computational biophysics research applies physics-based modeling to protein folding mechanics and breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue, revealing connections between jamming transitions and biological processes.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications shows a consistent focus on computational modeling of complex systems. Key trends include tunable granular metamaterials with reconfigurable force chains, the role of particle deformability in flow/clogging phenomena, and biomechanical modeling of tumor microenvironments. His work bridges fundamental physics with applications in materials science and biomedical research, often combining molecular dynamics simulations with continuum modeling approaches.
Professor Shattuck has secured collaborative research funding including an NSF grant for "Experimental and Computational Studies of Droplet and Bubble Flows through Complex Geometries" (2024). He teaches Computational Physics (PHYS 39907) and mentors graduate students in computational methods, though specific advisee names are not publicly documented. His research group operates within the Levich Institute ecosystem, which provides specialized facilities for fluid dynamics and soft matter research.
