Jie Zhang

Jie Zhang is a faculty member in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests include statistical description of granular materials, jamming transitions, mixing and segregation in granular media, geological implications of granular physics, thermal convection, and interfacial physics. Zhang has contributed to studies on force-chain distributions, granular material behavior under shear and compression, and Marangoni convection in binary liquids. His work has been published in journals such as Physics of Fluids, Granular Matter, and the Journal of Mechanics and Physics of Solids.

Jie Zhang is a researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University specializing in Soft Matter, Glassy Physics, and Granular Physics. Their work explores the behavior of complex materials under various conditions, including shear and vibration. Zhang's research includes the study of jamming phenomena, force-chain distributions, and the structural stability of granular systems. They have investigated how granular materials flow like complex fluids and examined the emergence of elasticity in amorphous solids. Additionally, Zhang has contributed to understanding the statistical properties of granular materials near jamming and the dynamics of frictional granular clusters. Their studies also cover experimental investigations of vibrational modes and Marangoni convection in binary mixtures.
