Victor Chanemail: vicchan@umich.eduroom: 2029 HH Dow B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 5/2008 My research involves using topological concepts to analyze microstructures of materials. The information obtained, such as connectivity and number of voids, can be related back to material properties. This will allow us to quantitatively tailor material properties by manipulating the microstructure. My other project involves using the ...more>> |

Nirand Pisutha-Arnondemail: nirand@umich.eduMaterials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, 2005 I am using the phase-field model to investigate morphological changes in heteroepitaxial thin film systems during self-assembly growth. The undulation of the surface to relieve misfit strain gives rise to what is known as quantum dots, which hold potentials for optoelectronic applications. Also, I am studying the ...more>> |

Stephen DeWittemail: stvdwtt@umich.eduMy research involves looking into the relationship between conductivity and phase volume fraction in composites. Zero mean curvature surface phase boundaries (such as those created by soap bubbles with various boundary conditions imposed) provide optimal conductivity through composites with equal volume fractions of each component. For non-equal... more>> |
