SCMR Group Summary The
principal purpose of my group is to study confined multi-phase systems, such
as polymer solutions, liquid crystals and suspensions, far from equilibrium.
In particular, we seek to analyze how dissipative fields, e.g. flow and/or
electric fields, can be used to drive or manipulate the self-assembly of
confined complex fluids. The opportunity resides in the fact that a
comprehensive analysis of these problems requires the combination of fluid
mechanics, transport and rheology with statistical mechanics, molecular
modeling, polymer and complex-fluid physics. In order
to be able to simulate these systems novel techniques must be developed and
combined, it is therefore an interest of my group to developed advanced
techniques to include all the important interactions for complex multi-phase
non-equilibrium systems. Consulting
and extension is also an important part of our group. The most significant
consulting jobs include polymer processing, advanced materials and energy and
environmental management. |
