 person 





 

I am a graduate student in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I started the program in 2007 after completing my B.S. in Physics from University of Maryland, Baltimore County. My research interests include self-assembly and wetting phenomena, with an emphasis on templated nucleation and growth of crystals (both colloidal crystals and ice).
