rheologian
A rheologian, also known as a rheologist, is a scientist who studies rheology, the science of deformation and flow of matter. The field covers how materials such as liquids, suspensions, emulsions, gels, pastes, and soft solids respond to applied stresses and strains. Rheologists seek to understand properties such as viscosity, elasticity, viscoelasticity, yield behavior, and time-dependent flow.
Key concepts in rheology include Newtonian versus non-Newtonian behavior, shear rate, shear stress, and relaxation phenomena.
Rheologists work across many fields and applications. Common areas include polymer processing (extrusion, molding, coating), food
Education and career paths typically involve degrees in physics, chemistry, chemical or materials engineering, or related
