Luis David Garcia-Puente discusses sandpiles, and how they produce amazing «fractal zeroes».
Dr Garcia-Puente is an associate professor at Sam Houston State University and was interviewed while attending an MSRI-UP summer program.

Wed also like to thank David Perkinson and Cameron Fish for helping with sandpile visualisations. See more at people.reed.edu/~davidp/ and have a play at people.reed.edu/~davidp/web_sandpiles/
