Research interests
I am an experimentalist interested primarily in how molecular-scale
interactions give rise to macroscopic properties. Complex fluids, soft matter and
colloidal/surface chemistry all offer interesting problems
and phenomena within this research area. My current research projects
include: nonlinear rotational microrheology, the microstructure,
rheology and microrheology of nanoemulsions, and various light
and neutron scattering studies of nanoemulsions.
