FieldsSoft matter

David J. Pine is an American physicist who has made contributions in the field of soft matter physics, including studies on colloids, polymers, surfactant systems, and granular materials.[1] He is professor of physics in the New York University College of Arts and Science and chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.[2][3]

Education

Pine received his B.S. in physics and mathematics in 1975 from Wheaton College, and his Ph.D. in physics in 1982 from Cornell University.[4]

Career

Pine was a professor in the Chemical Engineering Department and the Materials Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for 10 years[5]; he served as chair of the Chemical Engineering Department from 2001 to 2004. He also worked as a research scientist at Exxon Corporate Research in Annandale, New Jersey, and was on the physics faculty at Haverford College near Philadelphia.[6]

Research

He is among the original developers of diffusing-wave spectroscopy,[7][8] an optical technique used to study colloid systems. Pine's research also includes colloidal self-assembly[9] and the development of various colloids for these applications, including colloidal templating,[10] colloidal clusters,[11] lock-and-key colloids,[12] and patchy colloids with valence.[13] He also discovered Random Organization,[14] a nonequilibrium phase transition.[15] [16]

Awards and honors

Pine has published over 150 articles.[17] His work was recognized with the Society of Rheology Publication of the Year Award in 2000.[18] He was a Guggenheim Fellow[19] from 1999 to 2000 and was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997, the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2000, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2018.[20]
