Galloping Bubbles Earn APS Gallery of Fluid Motion Award for UNC Researchers

The Department of Mathematics is delighted to announce that Professor Pedro Saenz, alongside Jian Hui Guan, Saiful I. Tamim, Connor W. Magoon (UNC), and Howard A. Stone (Princeton), has been honored with the Gallery of Fluid Motion Award at the recent American Physical Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics Meeting. Their award-winning video and description illustrating symmetry breaking in galloping bubbles can be viewed here.

Established in 1987, the APS Gallery of Fluid Motion celebrates the intersection of science and art, showcasing visually stunning and scientifically profound visualizations of fluid dynamics. Recognized entries are selected by a panel of experts for their aesthetic and scientific merits, making this one of the most coveted honors in the field.

Congratulations to Professor Saenz and the entire team on this outstanding achievement!
