Robert Nagel is an American

physicist and the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago,

where he is affiliated with the Department of Physics, the James Franck Institute,

and the Enrico Fermi Institute.

His research focuses 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. Nagel

graduated with a B.A. from Columbia University in

1969. He then received a Ph.D. in physics

from Princeton University in

1975 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled "Infrared properties

of metals and wavevector dependent local field effects", under the

supervision of Stephen E. Schnatterly.
