The crystallization of metastable liquid phase change materials releases stored energy as latent heat upon nucleation and may therefore provide a triggerable means of activating downstream processes that respond to changes in temperature. In this work, we...
Self-assembly is one of the central themes in biologically controlled synthesis, and it also plays a pivotal role in fabricating a variety of advanced engineering materials. In particular, evaporation-induced self-assembly of colloidal particles enables...
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...
Sequential self-organization can be used to design the hierarchy and complexity of materials beyond what is possible with single-step synthesis. However, such sequential approaches introduce additional challenges in maintaining control over the process...
