Graeme W. Milton Field: Mathematics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1988
Research Interests
rimarily the properties of composite materials, which amounts to studying partial differential equations with rapid oscillations in their coefficients. I'm interested, for example, in how the microstructure influences the effective conductivity and effective elastic properties of composite materials and in identifying optimal composites which have extreme properties, on the boundary of what is possible. These optimal composites often have structure on many length scales, sometimes on infinitely many length scales.
