Articles

Having graduated from Skidmore about two weeks ago, one would think I would have plenty of time to update this blog. Fortunately or unfortunately, that is not the case. I have temporarily moved home, spent time finding an apartment for the fall, and am working on modifying my math thesis to submit it for publication. Meantime, I realized I have not put up my previously published articles. So, here they are:
Self Assembly of Janus Ellipsoids (Langmuir, 2012, 28, 3-9)
Encapsulation by Janus Spheroids (Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 6027)

I hope everyone's enjoying the summer. Hopefully, more updates soon.

Quick Update

Hi all-
This semester has been wildly busy, despite taking as few credits as I ever have. Between a thesis and research, traveling to grad schools, and general coursework, I haven't updated in far too long. So here's what's been going on:

Published! Update on Janus particle research.

One of the articles I collaborated on this summer (at my REU at Lehigh) is now published as a letter in Langmuir, a physical chemistry journal.

Self Assembly of Janus Ellipsoids

Lehigh REU research: a Brief summary

Below you'll find the 'abstract' we'll be sending to the NSF summarizing my summer work. I did some other stuff besides what's mentioned, and later I'll give more details, but for now I just want to put something up before I leave tomorrow.

Janus Particles and Spheres

So, posting about the project right away didn't happen because deciding on the project didn't happen and then coding didn't happen. But now it all has!

I'm working in theoretical statistical mechanics with Professor Jim Gunton at Lehigh. More specifically, this summer the research group is studying anisotropic (orientation-dependent) Janus particles.
