Keith A. Brown
Principal Investigator
Assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, and Physics
Moorman-Simon Interdisciplinary Career Development Professor

|
Nourin Alsharif
PhD Candidate, Mechanical Engineering
Nourin is interested in how the useful properties of natural
materials derive from their intermolecular organization. To study this, she
seeks to combine the unique nanoscale capabilities of enzymes with
microfabrication to optimize materials on the macroscale.

|
Wenhan Cao
PhD Candidate, Mechanical Engineering
Wenhan is studying electrokinetics of micro/nano particles
and new techniques for directing chemical reactions at the nano scale.
|
|
|
|
Le Li
PhD Candidate, Mechanical Engineering
Le is investigating the properties of polymers under
confinement and how these mesoscopic effects can lead to useful phenomena.

Aldair Gongora
PhD Student, Mechanical Engineering
Aldair is developing new strategies for designing
hierarchical materials. He is particularly interested in how systems and
controls can impact materials science.

Abigail Rendos
PhD Student, Materials Science & Engineering
Abby's research focuses on exploring the mechanical
properties of liquid marbles and connecting them to the behavior of their particulate
coatings. More generally, she is fascinated by systems where weak colloidal
interactions constructively interact to form useful materials.
