About Sidney R. Nagel
- Sidney R.
- Nagel is an American scientist and academic based at the University of Chicago, focusing on complex everyday physics such as "the anomalous flow of granular material, the long messy tendrils left by honey spooned from one dish to another, the pesky rings deposited by spilled coffee on a table after the liquid evaporates or the common splash of a drop of liquid onto a countertop." His work includes high-speed photography of splashing liquids and drop formation. Nagel was born September 28, 1948 in New York, the son of Ernest Nagel and brother of mathematician Alexander Nagel.
- His academic career began as a Research Associate at Brown University in 1974, and from there he went in 1976 to the University of Chicago, becoming a full professor in 1984, and gaining his present position in 2001.
