My research program focuses on developing the tools and fundamental understanding necessary to efficiently process soft materials and complex fluids. Soft materials and complex fluids have been in an exciting “discovery” phase for the last few decades as synthetic methods have been fully integrated, the seemingly disparate fields of colloidal and macromolecular science have moved closer together, and powerful analytical tools have become…

Our lab employs and further develops modern biophysical techniques to study cellular processes with high precision and detail.

Living cells have the remarkable ability to sense environmental signals such as physical force or small molecules. This information is processed by intracellular signaling networks, which allow a cell to respond to the stimulus. Our research at the intersection of physics and biology aims to understand how these cellular signaling processes are regulated on…

Research interests revolve around the modeling and simulation of complex wave phenomena in unconventional structures and materials, with emphasis on cellular solids, phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials. Current efforts are directed towards the investigation of wave motion in nonlinear periodic solids, such as granular crystals, with the objective of designing strategies for tunable filtering and wave steering. In parallel, new theoretical and experimental techniques for material…

• Nanoscience & Materials Chemistry: polymer nanostructures
• Polymer Chemistry: polymer characterization
• Experimental Physical Chemistry: polymer liquids

We are interested in multicomponent polymer systems such as block copolymers, which can undergo self-assembly to form interesting nanostructures in both solution and bulk. Our program involves:

1. synthesis of model polymers,
2. characterization of their molecular features,…

Professor Shield's research program focuses on understanding the effects that microstructures in modern materials have on the overall behavior of these materials and on their fracture properties. The materials under study include single crystals of shape-memory and other copper-based alloys, as well as novel materials with both magneto-elastic and shape-memory behaviors. Experimental work concentrates on observing the microstructures that form under various types of loading and at the tips…
