An experimental <physicist> who coauthored a method for inferring <viscoelasticity> from the motion of embedded probe particles. With <David A. Weitz>, he connected <dynamic light scattering> data to the <storage modulus> and <loss modulus>. The method makes <Brownian motion> informative: the particles' fluctuations encode how their surroundings store and dissipate mechanical energy.<Optical Measurements of Frequency-Dependent Linear Viscoelastic Moduli of Complex Fluids by T. G. Mason and D. A. Weitz>[Abstract: optical determination of frequency-dependent moduli]{ref}
