Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Complex fluids and Soft Matter describe a broad class of squishy materials, such as polymers, gels, emulsions and suspensions whose mechanical properties are governed by the entropic, wetting, hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions among their supramolecular constituents. Faculty research topics include directed self-assembly of colloids and nanoparticles, particles at fluid-fluid interfaces, glassiness and jamming behavior, as well as applications specific to understanding cell mechanical function, mechano-sensing and tissue engineering.
