About
Our laboratory investigates mechanical phenomena across scales, from molecular interactions to macroscopic systems, by integrating theoretical modeling with experimental approaches. We address fundamental questions in physics, materials science, and biological systems through three closely connected research directions. At the nanoscale, we study interfacial interactions and friction by combining advanced experimental techniques with theory to uncover the mechanisms governing surface phenomena and particle?substrate interactions under diverse environmental conditions, contributing to the development of more efficient materials. In biomolecular mechanics and soft matter, we explore how structure determines mechanical function in biological and bio-inspired systems, bridging fundamental biophysics with applications in biotechnology through combined experimental and theoretical characterization of material properties. In parallel, our work on fluid-particle interactions focuses on measuring microscale particle resuspension and their manipulation on surfaces, as well as developing improved theoretical frameworks for particle dynamics in complex flows, incorporating realistic surface effects to enhance predictive modeling with relevance to environmental and industrial processes. Through these interconnected efforts, we seek to advance the understanding of mechanical systems across scales while training the next generation of scientists in interdisciplinary research.The University bears no responsibility for the content displayed on this page or on any other faculty members’ pages.
