Interfacial Phenomena
Problems under investigation include interfacial resistance to mass transfer and the interaction between surface forces and interfacial convection. Work in the interfacial area is concerned with heat, mass, and momentum transfer in multicomponent, ultra thin, liquid films.
Research includes studies on condensation and evaporation in the contact line region, distillation form ultra thin films, lubrication, surface-tension-driven instabilities in atomically clean liquid metals, pattern formation in dendritic growth, imaging interferometry and ellipsometry, development of aerogel materials for dielectric layers. protein-solid interaction and the design of biocompatible surfaces. |
