Kamil Ekinci
Professor Kamil Ekinci’s research focuses on physical and biological phenomena at the nanometer length scales. His group uses state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques to create functional micro and nanostructures. They use these small structures along with highly sensitive electrical and optical measurement techniques to study diverse fundamental phenomena in solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and biological physics. They […]
Scott Bunch
Dr. Bunch’s research efforts focus on the nano-mechanical properties of a new class of 2D, atomically thin materials such as graphene – single atomic layers of graphite, and their remarkable mechanical properties such as high strength, extreme flexibility, and unprecedented barrier properties. In researching these topics, Dr. Bunch then plans to fabricate and characterize nano-mechanical […]
Keith Brown
Dr. Brown primarily studies polymers and smart fluids in order to measure their useful properties, and the order in which they emerge, defining importance. Namely, he seeks to develop methods which increase the throughput of materials research using scanning probe lithography, autonomous experimentation, additive manufacturing, and combinatorial chemistry.
David Bishop
In addition to a focus on low temperature physics, Dr. Bishop has a wide variety of research interests, including the study of cardiac tissue engineering, micro-electromechanical (MEMS) systems and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), the Casimir Effect, superconductivity and superfluidity, nanotechnology, and feedforward control theory algorithms.
Soumendra Basu
Dr. Basu’s present and past research include studying the environmental degradation and characterization of materials, metals, and minerals, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as well as the study of optical fibers for mid-IR transmission, wide bandgap materials for solid state lighting, thermal barrier and environmental barrier coatings for gas turbine applications, nanostructures in […]
