The Barocas research group explores the relationship between tissue architecture and mechanics using a combination of multiscale computational models and innovative mechanical experiments. This approach, applied in a wide range of organs and tissues, represents two key paradigms in modern biomechanics:
- No matter what scale is of interest, to understand it properly, one must study the…

- Theoretical Physics
My research is in the area of particle physics and cosmology. The main topics on which I work are: big bang nucleosynthesis, which is an explanation of the origin of the light element isotopes through 7Li; particle dark matter; big bang baryogenesis, which is an explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in nature; and inflation which is a theory constructed to resolve…

Biomedical Engineering
Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering
The Esteller Lab focuses on demonstrating proof of concept for promising neurotechnologies with the potential to transform patient care and enhance human conditions. We translate scientific insights into early-stage clinical solutions that deliver targeted stimulation energy to modulate the nervous system, using feedback-driven approaches informed by physiological signals, patient-reported measures, or other relevant sensing modalities to identify biomarkers and enable personalized therapy…

Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Teaching Professor
My efforts are centered on undergraduate chemical engineering and materials science based laboratory classes and lab management, particularly chemical engineering unit operations and an introductory materials science lab for non-majors. Drawing on an industrial background in coatings helps inform the labs’ industrial relevance and students’ preparation for work in real-world applications. Research and teaching interests include the study and implementation of more effective/engaging teaching…

Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Robert and Marjorie Henle Chair, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Sapatnekar Research Group Site
My research is primarily in the area of computer-aided design (CAD) of VLSI systems. Advances in integrated circuit technologies allow us to build progressively larger systems, with increasing numbers of transistors. On the other hand, circuit components, such as transistors and wires, shrink in size from one technology…

Professor
We study complex fluids and multiphase flows. Complex fluids are fluidic mixtures featuring multiple phases and mesoscopic length scales and include aerosol suspensions, liquid-liquid emulsions, film forming foams, polymeric solutions, and colloidal suspensions. These interface-rich systems are all around us in our everyday lives. Using macro- and micro-scale flow measurements and analytic mathematical modeling, we study such areas as the chemical…
