Princeton Center for Complex Materials
Research faculty for P.C.C.M.
Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace engineering.
Professor Haataja's research focuses on theoretical and computational materials science, physics of materials, and physical biology. Current work includes studies of microstructure formation during solid-solid phase transformations and solidification, growth of electrodeposited thin films and quantum heterostructures, dynamics of driven interfaces in the presence of mobile impurities, recrystallization kinetics, signaling in cells, and regulation & self-organization of "lipid rafts" in the plasma membrane
Anne Renzi Wright was the first black woman to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering (civil engineering) from Brown University.
