Prof. Randy Ewoldt spoke at the European Society of Rheology's annual conference, held in Leeds, UK in early April. His talk focused on his new idea that any observation is a chance to infer quantitative properties.
Ewoldt featured as plenary speaker at global rheology conference
Earlier this month, Alexander Rankin Professor Randy Ewoldt closed out the Annual European Rheology Conference (AERC) in Leeds, UK, as the final plenary speaker.
The annual meeting of the European Society of Rheology (ESR) brings together rheologists from all scientific disciplines, from academy to industry and government laboratories in an informal atmosphere to discuss and share ideas. The event was held at the University of Leeds, one of the largest research-intensive universities in the UK. The ESR is all-encompassing, open to all European national societies and groups devoted to rheology.
Ewoldt’s talk, entitled “Protorheology,” [Hossain, M. T., and R. H. Ewoldt, “Protorheology,” Journal of Rheology, 68(1), 113–144 (2024)], focused on his new idea that any observation is a chance to infer quantitative properties.
Ewoldt’s fundamental research in fluid mechanics and the rheology of complex fluids focuses on yield stress fluids, polymer gels, biological materials, new measurement methods, data computation, and techniques for avoiding bad data in rheology.
