Biography
Our lab's interests lie at the interface between engineering, physics, biology, materials science, and chemistry. We aim to disentangle the interactions between complex fluids — including emulsions, polymer solutions, and microbial suspensions — and their complex environments — like porous media, biological hydrogels, and tissues and organs in the body. This represents a new frontier for engineering. Not only do environmental factors alter these materials, but they themselves alter their environments, and these coupled dynamics give rise to non-trivial emergent behavior. The goal of our work is to understand and control these interactions.
