Michael Elmhirst Cates (born 5 May 1961) is a British physicist. He has been the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge since 1 July 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge University Reporter No 6380 )〕 He was previously Professor of Natural Philosophy and Royal Society Research Professor〔http://royalsociety.org/grants/case-studies/michael-cates/〕 at the University of Edinburgh. His scientific work is varied, but focuses on the theory of soft matter, such as polymers, colloids, gels, liquid crystals, and granular material. A frequent goal is to create a mathematical model that predicts the stress in a flowing material as a functional of the flow history of that material. Such a mathematical model is called a constitutive equation. Recently he has worked on theories of active matter, particularly dense suspensions of self-propelled particles which can include motile bacteria. Cates is the Principal Investigator of an EPSRC Programme Grant, awarded in 2011, entitled Design Principles for New Soft Materials. ==Early life== Cates was born on 5 May 1961. He read Natural Sciences and earned a PhD at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1985, where he studied with Sam Edwards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Cates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
