The Umass MRSEC experience is exciting and challenging. I am utilizing Hooke's law, Young's Modulus, Poission's Ratio, Gibbs free energy, the principles of surface tension and the geometry and physics of wrinkling. Efren Rodriguez, David Capone and I are working under Jiangshui Huang, Dr. Thomas Russell and Dr. Narayanan Menon to explore the capillary wrinkling of floating thin films of polystyrene on a variety of substrates. This has many possible uses in the development of nanotechnology and also in biomedical engineering. Visit this site for more information on Dr. Russell's research.
