Lou Kondic, PhD

Lou Kondic, PhD	Lou Kondic, PhD, is an associate professor in the department of mathematics at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Currently, he is involved in modeling and simulations of granular materials in a microgravity environment, and in the development of numerical methods for highly nonlinear partial differential equations related to the flows of thin liquid films. Kondic received a 2005-2006 Fulbright Scholar grant to study a dimension of thin film science focusing on the thinnest fluids. In spring 2006, he will travel to Argentina, where he will help physicists discover better ways to coat very delicate, almost invisible glass fibers, focusing on how polymers are used to create a thin coating of a fluid film around an existing surface. These fibers are used to conduct electrical signals in microelectronics, optics and nanotechnology applications. Kondic is the author of more than 50 research articles. His most recent scholarly article, “On Nontrivial Traveling Waves in Thin Film Flows, Including Contact Lines” appeared in Physica D in September 2005. He received his doctorate in physics from City College of City University of New York and his BS in physics from the University of Zagreb in Croatia.
