flowinduced anisotropic mechanical response of dense suspensions

dense suspensions are complex fluids like shampoo or concrete with equal parts of particles and liquid large particles necessitate external forces for movement causing mechanical properties to depend on shear history this is currently not understood nor well characterized and is a major obstacle for the modeling of its flows with quickly varying conditions which are ubiquitous in industry eg extrusion drilling or in nature eg landslides this project will unravel how flow history controls the mechanical response of suspensionsthe viscosity of a suspension of hard particles under a quickly varying flow can be much smaller than a steady flow because the anisotropic microstructure is too slow to evolve and provide a strong resistance for the same reason a jammed suspension of soft particles can retain stresses even after flow stops so far only shear stress has been studied and the microstructurestress relation remains poorly characterized advanced particlebased simulations considering hydrodynamics and complex contact physics allow precise exploration of this relationship separately a new generation of microscopicsinformed constitutive models show great promise to predict the evolution of the stress under arbitrary flow history but remain tested only in limited setups we aim at characterizing the full stress tensor response under shear rotations ie model timedependent flows where the strain axes are suddenly rotatedwe will determine the contribution of hydrodynamics elastic frictional interactions to the response and how these depend on particle softness we will use our results as stringent tests for current constitutive modelsthe last goal is to achieve quantitative match with experiments performing shear rotations on suspensions of polystyrene hard and carbopol soft performed by collaborators which report intriguing observations of transient tangential stresses orthogonal to the flow direction

fusion of compact objects by ray tracing gravitational wave observables from the time evolution of the event horizon in extreme mass ratio mergers

the project is a cuttingedge exploration of the dynamics of black hole collisions in general relativity and in modified gravity theories in an innovative way that makes the merging of black holes amenable to analytic treatment in the extrememassratio limit by developing an approach based on ray tracing the project assumes a pioneering stance leveraging strong field tests of gravity to impart stringent constraints on modified gravity theories and learning more about black hole merging and matter collapse the approach is complementary to other techniques currently employed but in a regime that is not accessible to themcentral to its timeliness is the burgeoning of gravitational wave astronomy hastening the need for empirical validation the forthcoming laser interferometer space antenna lisa adds further urgency promising novel insights into strong gravity within a decade
exploring the contribution of hypothalamic gliosis to the metabolic and reproductive complications of hypogonadism translational implications for obesityinduced male hypogonadism

obesity is a worldwide epidemic and a serious public health threat since it greatly increases the risk of highly morbid chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes hypertension cardiovascular disease and many cancers a growing body of literature has suggested that obesity is associated with hypogonadism defined in males as low levels of endogenous testosterone a reproductive disorder that substantially elevates metabolic risk the mechanisms linking reproductive function to metabolism are not fully understood but emerging evidence from clinical and preclinical studies suggests the potential role of hypothalamic gliosis recent data support a model in which microglia brain macrophages and astrocytes mediate the effects of a westerntype diet to induce obesity and that hypogonadism synergizes with an obesogenic diet to profoundly activate hypothalamic gliosis in this context we propose a multidisciplinary approach to unveil the potential role of hypothalamic gliosis as a central node linking metabolic dysregulation and reproductive dysfunction the studies described herein will use astrocyte and microgliaspecific mouse models of increased or reduced inflammatory signaling to determine whether gliosis is proximal to hypogonadism hypogonadism causes gliosis or they establish a vicious cycle together these studies will potentially provide cellular targets for new therapies to offset the longterm metabolic harm from hypogonadism and to improve reproductive function in obese patients beyond its translational value the project will provide a solid foundation for the scientific career of the fellow and help her achieve the longterm goal of becoming an independent scientist
