Perry Ellis, First-year FLAMEL trainee

Title:

“Extracting Physics from Large Confocal Datasets:  Defects on a Torus”

Bio:

Perry is a Ph.D. student in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech working under Professor Alberto Fernandez-Nieves.  His research uses experiment and simulation to examine the interplay between ordered materials such as liquid crystals and the constraints imposed by the geometry of the confining volume.  Perry hopes to use the tools provided by the FLAMEL program to develop applications and new materials using the insights gained from his fundamental research. 

Perry received his B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College in 2011. In his free time he enjoys climbing rocks and being outside.
