Stripe solitons are long solitary wave filaments which can be found in a variety of multidimensional contexts, e.g., in shallow water waves, Bose-Einstein condensates, and ferromagnetic materials. In a recent paper published in Physical Review B, a

A widely celebrated feature of nonlinear optical materials is their support of optical solitons—localized, propagating pulses that maintain their shape over large distances. Light propagating in an optical fiber can be modeled effectively by the

Following the recent article on the dispersive hydrodynamic formulation of magnetization dynamics in thin film ferromagnets, Ezio Iacocca and Mark Hoefer explore the effect of finite-sized obstacles in this context. Thin film ferromagnets support

Solid-state magnetic materials are intrinsically dynamic, stemming from the forces that act at the nanoscale and favor a macroscopic, collective order. In the case of a thin film ferromagnet, effectively a two dimensional magnetic medium, the

Patrick Sprenger and Mark Hoefer publish a new paper in SIAM Journal of Applied Mathematics.  The paper, Shock waves in dispersive hydrodynamics with non-convex dispersion, identifies new dispersive shock wave structures admitted by

As the year comes to an end, the Dispersive Hydrodynamics Laboratory reflects on a successful 2016. The lab was involved in Applied Mathematics’ first CU Wizards show, a 30+ year CU tradition. CU Wizards is a monthly,

Michelle Maiden and Mark Hoefer were published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A.  Their paper, Modulations of viscous fluid conduit periodic waves, presents a theoretical investigation of the stability and dynamics of periodic waves

Professor Mark Hoefer has been published in the esteemed physics journal Physical Review Letters. The journal publishes “short, high quality reports of significant and notable results in the full arc of fundamental and interdisciplinary physics

On the Christmas Eve of 2011, Mark Hoefer received an email linking one of his theories to experiments taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was a momentous occasion. During his time with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as

Hoefer received in 2013 and continues to receive funding. Thus far, three publications have been produced as a result of the research. Hoefer said that, “I received the Career award in 2013 to study nonlinear wave dynamics theoretically and
