  Pittsburgh, PA Utilize a model system of a dilute suspension of Brownian spheroids to simulate a wide range of viscoelastic materials. Using this "simplistic" model, we can determine the full stress tensor of the suspension under a given deformation. This powerful approach allows us to systematically vary the microstructure of the suspension to understand how different microstructures lead to a different stress signature. By understanding how the microstructure of a material impacts the stress response… Show more Utilize a model system of a dilute suspension of Brownian spheroids to simulate a wide range of viscoelastic materials. Using this "simplistic" model, we can determine the full stress tensor of the suspension under a given deformation. This powerful approach allows us to systematically vary the microstructure of the suspension to understand how different microstructures lead to a different stress signature. By understanding how the microstructure of a material impacts the stress response, rheologists will be able to better understand nonlinear experimental data and develop improved models and simulations for more complicated systems.

  University Park, PA Quantified the electrostatic adsorption of a cationic protein found in the seeds of the Moringa oleifera tree for use in water treatment. Experimentally determined an optimal "dosing" amount that maximized surface coverage, while minimizing materials and required time. This work was done in collaboration with Dr. Robert Tilton and Dr. John Riley at CMU, who performed complimentary experiments quantifying the mass adsorption of the same protein onto a flat surface.
