Alejandro Garcia's Web Site

As a university professor and a research scientist, I spend much of my time distributing information. The purpose of this site is to do this more efficiently. You'll also find some personal items, such as paintings, prints, and sketchbook drawings.

What's New ?

Animation Physics for Artists:
The project now has a public wiki, which supplements the regular website. New tutorial is now available: Physics of Balance. The Animation Physics website has been redesigned for easier navigation and is now linked to the MERLOT and comPADRE educational databases.

27th International Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics, Asilomar Conference Grounds Pacific Grove, California, USA; July 11-16, 2010

Talks:
Talk on Physics of Animation project presented at Winter 2009 meeting of Am. Assoc. Physics Teachers (Slides Only, Slides and Movies)
Talk on Fluctuations in Direct Simulation Monte Carlo presented at Oberwolfach, Nov. 2008 (Lecture slides).

Preprints:
